Well considering mer uses RPM and salifish uses mer at its core than I guess RPM it is. I'm not thrilled about that one lol
Well, I've recently started with RPM packaging for Nemo and would say I like it quite a lot more than Debian packaging.
Just that all the packaging info resides in the specfile, meaning you don't have to reprocess the package every time you make a change and wrangle with a dozen of different files makes creation of new packages or repackaging of existing ones much easier.
Also the Mer/Nemo packager, called zypper seems to be quite advanced. For example, it can be used to add new repositories (zypper ar) directly from the command line, which I think apt-get is not able to do. This is quite handy for adding some of the many interesting COBS repos.

OK guys, I have a questions about the multitasking on this OS.
Will it be like Maemo/N9?
yes I said N9 and not MeeGo,
AFAIK, N9 was "half Maemo, half MeeGo" So it still keep Maemo Multitasking capabilities.
What I mean is, People like me who love Maemo for its multitasking capabilities wait to see what it will look like, but all I see on these demo are something like HTC Sence (I hope am wrong).
-Apps can be closed long press and then close
-At this point UI is optimised to work with 9 apps open but their looking into an alternative to expand on that
-You can come back to home screen from any direction(each of 4 edges)
-No landscape mode for the launcher at the moment
And they should be. At least "kill swipe" should be implemented like in N9. Same to landscape launcher.
Or Jolla, just make it open so that community can fix those when needed. (I want taskbar, I want some apps locked to certain place to act as "widgets", I want custom size for app window when app is minimized, I want sane animation (like in Harmattan) to be displayed when swiping away from app...)

Designs are still work in progress and improving!
Those must be fixed!! And the "kill swipe" (top to bottom swipe) MUST BE THERE! I love it
