Yoper is alive

Yoper is alive. Version 2.91 Blacksand is available to download. This is a Beta release so is still in testing. I strongly urge people who thought Yoper had died to check out the new release. It is faster than ever.

Mmmmm - yoper lost me when they went with rpm.
rpm-hell induced me to switch to gentoo.

I tried yoper some time back, but sorry, no longer interested - Arch has my vote now where I need a (fast) binary distro.

I thought Yoper used apt4rpm so how would one have rpm hell?

Sorry - I should have been clearer.

rpm-hell was in my past (RH9 ???) - the scars persist. When yoper announced they were going that way I exitted stage-left.

These days they are using Smart as the package manager. Installing new programs is a piece of cake.

Sorry, I gave up on yoper over a year ago.

It used to be a terrific distro, but its so old now that I have moved on. And yes it was a very fast distro. But their development team is slow, very slow, probably nonexistent by now. Sad really.
