I would like to raise the issue of pitfalls in defining RPM as the "mandated" packaging system for the LSB. Although I will concede that RPM is fairly standard, it is potentially harmful to impose a packaging standard.
Can this be avoided by an investigation a standardization effort in the packaging community itself? For example, can we bring representatives from the different packaging application developers to a single forum to discuss a method of sharing a common "packing accounting system" ??
