LSB is much more than standard file system layouts. It allows you to build a common binary package (for a given processory architecture) that can be installed on any LSB-compliant distro (with that processor architecture).
Do people actually do that? When first I tried it (and I have done it), I discovered problems such as library versions. I wouldn't even try taking a Fedora package to install on RHEL-clone, except maybe when the two are in step, because I would anticipate that the Fedora version would use new features of existing libraries, such as but not limited to, glibc, and new libraries. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
