rpm is just a package format, and IMHO not one of the better
ones. I've used it quite some time and i've yet to see even
a mechanism like commiting software with rpm.
please use things for what they were intended for, not for
everything. rpm is great for quickly installing a singly
binary, especially if You don't know every geninstall
parameter by heart (or almost none like me), but it's
not the way to distribute real software.
Guess why linux people consider dpkg as superior?
