A nice read anyways.. just to support RPM, yum adds recommendations
and suggestions to RPM. Also 'binary programs allowed' sounds
confusing as RPM does support packaging of binary files. Another
plus of an RPM is the '-V' option to verify the integrity of an
installed RPM (i am not sure if that exists in deb)
Well, this is meant to be talking about the stuff run
pre/post installing a package. for rpm, it has to be in the spec
file -- which means that it must be a script. For debian, since they
are in external files, you could sneak in a compiled binary (which
would be against policy, but hey, you could do it)
much clear.. thanks.
