The Smart Package Manager project has the ambitious objective of creating smart
and portable algorithms for solving adequately the problem of managing
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).
The Smart Package Manager project has the ambitious objective of

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.
