To come o > That is one reason rpm has that lovely --nodeps option. I am learning & trying to grasp the underlying philosophy I need re this. Very often I see applications that do not seem to have any rpms - people here have mentioned that one cld make them, but i am still too unfamiliar with the whole business.
Can one just use rpm when possible and the use the nodeps option if needed and add stuff using binaries the rest of the time? How quickly does a system deteriorate if one does? Right now I am following a "no rpm - no go" philosophy, but is that too cautious? I am not really in a position to discover that for myself, not till I get better at this.
