Paul, sounds like you aren't a long term fan of Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS,
so I'm guessing yum feels like an inconvenience to you, especially when
it seems to be getting in the way of your desired install.
I've been a sysadmin for 20 years and I've never been a fan of the make
'n' break style of
Agreed. This is why I spent a week with cpan2rpm and built packages for both
openSuSE (which we're transitioning to) and CentOS.

I presume that is CentOS5. That would make me very happy as CentOS RPMs
should work for RHEL.
One thing I adore about well-built packages is that things are placed in
the right location for the OS. For instance, the RT3 rpms put all the
config files in /etc, all the perl modules in the perl
The CentOS ones follow the RH way of directory layout, with the caveat that
I chose to put the other modules that normally get pulled in via cpan in the
perl5 site_lib hierarchy to assure that a rouge update from rpmforge or
upstream CentOS would be able to be installed without odd file conflicts.
That is nice to see that you made a well-crafted rpm that you can be
proud of. I wonder what would happen if a later version of RT3 became
available via EPEL. Would it nicely replace the files (maybe moving
stuff to rpmsave's) or would all hell break loose?
What RT3 version is your centos rpm
The CentOS version is currently 3.8.1, so they're not really a good fit at
this time. The SuSE ones are 3.8.8. If you're still interested in them, I
can put them on a server outside my office for download (bandwidth at work
