I will, be sure! :-) To be honest, now that we tested it with support 
from some of our users, and the feedback is very fine, i think we'll 
switch sooner over to smart than we first thought. The next version will 
then be smart only and obsolete aptrpm. I really like the work you did 
yet with this new project of yours.

That didn't really work, but i think working with metadata should be 
wiser with a growing repo.

Well thats right, there will be a way i think....

Createrepo without rpm-python? Well how should this work then? Therefor 
rpm-python for debian doesn't really exist, as i noticed now, this seems 
something license specific. But i think there will be some solution for 
this before completly switching, or better there must be one then! :-)
