==========================

High level overview.

|
Mention that most flavours of Unix have their own way of managing packages, but
|
2012-10-12 23:08:44 -05:00
|
|
|
at their core they all follow the similar principles (install/uninstall
|
|
|
|
|
packages, keep track of what is installed, etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RPM and YUM (RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux)
|
|
|
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
|
Some text about what RPM is, what YUM is, and how they both provide two halfs of
|
|
|
|
|
the same function.

Creating packages
|

|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
Mention spec files and roughly how RPMs are put together.
|
|
|
|
|
Then introduce FPM and tell them not to bother with spec files yet.
