What suggests that we have the time either?

I think that it would be a good time for you right now to make the time
to learn RPM if it's the foundation for a package system you are
devising.

Whilst I indeed think your request is fair to a point - suggesting that
we might have more time to create an RPM than you is going a little far.

If I'm not mistaken, whipping together a specific binary package for a
platform that is "given" i.e. RH7.2, should not be hard, but you will
have to compile from source whatever happens. RPM packages are little
more than a tarball with an index as to where each file needs to be
installed, and a few checksums.

Please contact me off list if you want to further this debate.
