I imagine that's because you don't have to "move to Smart"; Smart uses the
existing repository methods to handle installation.  So if Adept were to
"move to Smart", that implies that YUM, YaST, UPRMI (sp?) and .tgz
repositories will be supported (as that is what Smart does, AFAIK; abstracts
the differences between repository systems).

I imagine that&#39;s because you don&#39;t have to &quot;move to Smart&quot;; Smart \
uses the existing repository methods to handle installation.&nbsp; So if Adept were \
to &quot;move to Smart&quot;, that implies that YUM, YaST, UPRMI (sp?) and .tgz \
