Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] RPM install madness

[Jason Wies]

1) I'm pretty sure Luca's new build system generates a single RPM for the 
entire install (alien from the tarball), so in the future this shouldn't be an 
issue.

2) I think RPM has a way of handling dependancies if you put all the rpms in a 
directory and do an 'rpm -i *'.  Take a look at the '--noorder' option.  Just a 
stab, I haven't used RPM in a while.

I agree that there is little benefit from using the RPMs over the tarball 
unless the RPMs come with a distribution.
