This would be mad. A generic RPM would be great!
Just as long as there is a standard .tar.gz for all us people who don't use
RPM.
And can someone clarify what no arch is? Does that mean no architecture
ie. there are no binaries in the package?
Normally means no binaries, not architecture specific.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't an RPM have a pre-defined
structure for where the files go?
How exactly could you produce an RPM to put RC in a webroot if you don't know
where that webroot is when you built the RPM?
Yes.
RPMs are normally built for a particular distro which will have the
webroot in a predefined (by default) location.
And if is there is a standard webroot for RPM based distributions, what about
the people who don't install RC system wide? Or in a virtual hosted domain?
I could be wrong in my assumptions about RPM (given that I tend to avoid
anything RPM related like the plague), but I just can't see how it would work.
This is why I never use RPMs for web based packages as my sites are ALL
virtual hosted, normally under my home dir somewhere.
