Is RPM in wide use under Unix as opposed to just Linux? I have used it
and found it very convenient, but hardly anybody distributes their
software that way by default. :( Some Linuxer always has to turn it into
an RPM. It would be very nice if RPM were more widely used and
supported. Maybe making it available and compatible under NT would help.
I'm no expert, but can't you make RPMs that have just the portable
source and no binaries?
