Actually, rpm is part of the Linux Standard Base specification, which
all major distributions implement. Debian derivatives use dpkg, but
still have a full set of rpm tools. Most distributions have higher-
level package management tools built on top of either rpm (like yum) or
dpkg (like apt), and in most cases the lower-level tools are only used
if something goes wrong.
i don't recognize that as what i said, but i was trying to make the
point that BSD DOESn't use rpm compression, and that was a point i
was trying to make in terms of comparison/contrast
there are other packaging systems in use by different distros,
including at least one that is based on the BSD ports system.
s/based on/inspired by/ if you're thinking of Gentoo.
