I think people don't remmeber well how Glint was: first of all it
lacked crucial functionality specially in the dependency area: if you
selercted some pacakages to install and there an unsstisfuied
dependency it unselected akll you had selected (oinstead of finding
what was missing) so you had to begin all anew and that means you had
a fair chance to fail again this time because you forgot apackage you
had selected first time.
Another problem with Glint was that it had memory leaks big enough to
sink the Titanic: if you selected say a dozen packages to investifate
them, unselected them and selected another dozen, unselected then you
noticed that Glint had become huge and after that any action caused
very heavy swapping in 16 or 32 Megs boxes (big boxes by then).
So basically Glint sucked, problem is GnoRpm sucks too.
