Setup is (and will likely remain) purely targeted at win32. The package
file format it uses is loosely based on existing package approachs, with
embedded scripts to assist in managing the environment. Setup will at
some point be compatible with (hopefully both) rpm and dpkg.
IMO your best bet at this point is to use dpkg or rpm (whichever you are
most comfortable with) for unix flavours, and generate a 'trivial'
binary tarball by hooking into the dpkg or rpm process.=20
As for a command line setup, it's partly, but not completely there.
