The whole Red Hat-derived rpm business sometimes makes me want to puke (and
I'm an an RH fan.)

The whole business of installing non-rpm software alongside rpms
can in the worst case lead to horrible conflicts, in the best to needless
GBs of unnecessary disk consumption.

A couple of days ago I found checkinstall, which makes rpms on the fly from
any compiled source code. A die hard Unix (SVR4) fan warned me to steer
clear of it, but nonetheless I'm playing around carefully with the latest
beta version, which presumably he hadn't tried. The aim is to be able to use
--force --nodeps with a quiet heart :-)

"Proper Unix people" use 'stow' for avoiding conflicts, but 'stow'
doesn't solve rpm problems.

Best,

Tony
