I think RPM goes little bit against LFS philosophy but still remains
"Your Distro. Your Rules" :-)
I am not sure how this is so. AFAIK the basic LFS philosophy is
everything is built from scratch. If you build RPM from scratch and all
the RPM packages from scratch how can that go against LFS philosophy?
RPM is just a packaging management tool. No more or less than other
packaging management systems out there. Personally I think that without
some sort of package management LFS falls just a little short of being a
"proper" distribution. Then LFS is not a "proper" distribution, it is a
book to teach people how to build linux, no more, no less. It is what
people do with LFS that can turn it into a "proper" distribution but
then that is getting BeyondLFS :)
