I understand exactly what source packages do, if it makes it easier for you
I'll call them tar.gz files.
Also, I don't find your comparison valid, as the result of package
installation be it yum or ./configure && make && make install is the same:
software being installed.
My meaning is that compiling from source will always be with us, and it's
the prominent way of releasing new software.
Thanks,
Magic.
