-The Smart Package Manager project has the ambitious objective of creating smart

-software upgrades and installation.
-This tool works in all major distributions and will bring notable advantages
-over native tools currently in use (APT, APT-RPM, YUM, URPMI, etc).

-Notice that this project is not a magical bridge between every distribution in
-the planet. Instead, this is software offering better package management for
-these distributions when working with their native packages. Using multiple
-packaging systems at the same time (like rpm and dpkg) is possible but would
-require packages from those systems to follow the same packaging guidelines.
-As a general rule, mixing packaging systems is not recommended.
