> 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.
