Anyone still using smart ?

[Radovan Prodanovic]

Anders,

WindRiverLinux (WRL) is using and supports smart PM.

WindRiver is a major contributor to Yocto project.

WRL also includes apt and opkg, as well as rpm.

WRL does not officially package/support dnf though.

I was planning to use the smart PM in WRL. Are you suggesting I should not?
