Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: RPM Package Manager is a package management system. The name RPM refers to two things: software packaged in the .rpm file format, and the package manager itself. RPM was intended primarily for GNU/Linux distributions; the file format RPM is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base. Originally developed by Red Hat for Red Hat Linux, RPM is now used by many GNU/Linux distributions. It has also been ported to some other operating systems, such as Novell NetWare (as of version 6.5 SP3) and IBM's AIX as of version 4. Originally standing for "Red Hat Package Manager", RPM now stands for "RPM Package Manager", a recursive acronym. Package managers have many advantages over relying on manual installation such as: RPM also has a few advantages over some other package managers: RPM has been criticized for a lack of consistency in package names and content which can make automatic dependency handling difficult. However, this is not a problem inherent in the RPM format, but rather because of differing packaging guidelines among major Linux distributions that use RPM in packaging such as Fedora, openSUSE, and Mandriva Linux. When using packages that are from a particular distribution (say Red Hat Linux) or built for a particular distribution (for example Freshrpms for Fedora), tools such as yum, urpmi or zypper can perform automatic dependency checking. Circular dependencies between mutually dependent RPMs cannot be installed with RPM unless the user is aware that he needs to specify both on the RPM installer's parameter list first. This leads to what is known as 'dependency hell', particularly for packages with many dependencies, each o...http://booksllc.net/?l=de
