Hi George,
This is why the Linux Standard Base (LSB) was created:

The biggest problem we have is with different ways to do packaging
(apt, rpm, yum) and the fast and distributed release cycle across the
distros.

I wanted to take this opportunity and thank the team for making such
great strides getting FOSSology to the point of an RPM install. I
am looking for to the official release ....
After some thought, I think this would be a GREAT case study to
demonstrate why Linux needs to have certain standards in place that
are COMMON across all distributions. The efforts that were spent
on getting FOSSology running on another distribution of Linux (from
Debian to Redhat / Centos) should help open some eyes that this
really is a problem

Would it be a good idea reduce the overall build complexity by
splitting each agent into its own install package? For example,
libextractor is only used by the pkgmetagetta module, which most
people probably don't care about anyway.
We are probably going to have optional modules (agents + UI) in the
future anyway. We have talked about this in the past but perhaps we
need to do something about it. IF this is a good idea, the first
thing I would do is make pkgmetagetta optional. Optional modules is
also seems like a good way to introduce most new functionality since
the new code will probably be less stable than the base code.
