Okay, granted the topic refers specifically to Linux, but you've opened
the field here. :)
GNUstep runs on many other systems, so why limit this to RPM? Most
large projects release RPM, tar.gz, and maybe .DEB. Why not provide
packages for the major types of systems, and then <shameless plug> use
LSPM </shameless plug> to manage the GNUstep aspect of packages.
That way, you could also provide packages for Solaris, IRIX, the BSDs,
and even *gack* Windows, if need be.
Just a thought.
