Hi,

We talked about making a contrib RPM for root, but my colleague who maintains
the root installations at our site is somewhat reluctant to pack root into a
rpm. He says root is too much of a moving target to have it burn into a rpm.
Usually we have 3 installations of root on our systems in parallel (old, new,
prod) to maintain binary compatibility. This would be hard to do with RPM's.
What we do: root sits on a shared (NFS) storage, so we don't have to install
it on every desktop, they just use the shared storage.
Of course it would be easier with a rpm to maintain all those notebooks ....
Sincerly,
Klaus
