Is there such capability in the rpm packages? It can solve quite a lot of packets dependancies, because I hope one day every one will use the livestatus module instead of a database based one (event a NoSQL one ;) ). It can be great if for the 0.2 version we can have packages for: *debian/testing (squeeze) *ubuntu (current LTS?) *RHEL5 *Centos5 *Fedora13 (next RHEL6 :) ). Hopefully this mean 2 packages if I'm not wrong. And if someone know how to create a msi package, he can package it for Windows of course :) (There is already the .reg and a simple install.bat).
