I always thought that if you do not touch system specific stuff you can use the same RPM at least on RH, SuSE and Mandrake?Different RPM versions, different files in different packages used for dependency declarations, different "right" installation helpers. At least SuSE vs RH+Mandrake has been a split in the past, as has one version of RH against a later one.
AFAIK RPM is only downwards compatible, not upwards. Packages build on SuSE 6.2 work on any RPM based Linux that that we have encountered (definitly on RedHat and Mandrake which we test "officially").
If you build the pkgs using RPM 4.x on RedHat they probably won't run on RPM 3.x on SuSE ..., but the reverse will be true.
BTW, just checked: SuSE 6.2: RPM version 3.0.3 SuSE 7.2: RPM version 3.0.6 SuSE 8.1: RPM version 3.0.6 Greetings Helge -- __________________________________________________________________ Helge Hess Email: helge.hess@skyrix.com SKYRIX Software AG Tel: +49-391-6623-0 Universitaetsplatz 12 Fax: +49-391-6623-599 39104 Magdeburg, Germany Internet: http://www.skyrix.com __________________________________________________________________ Visit us at ThinkAboutIT 2003-02-06 http://www.thinkabout-it.org/ __________________________________________________________________
