Hi All,
I have been looking around about packaging applications on linux.
Opensuse uses rpm and many others use .deb. However, in all honestly,
I think this is one area where linux is sorely lacking. The RPM
specfile just seems atrocious to me, however, there does not seem to
be a good alternative. I know there are a couple of projects out
there that use distro agnostic install tools like auto package but
those break the "dependency structure" of such things as the rpm
database if you install something outside of it.
What have some of you done in the past? I don't see a real good
alternative here...
Regards
