We use Open View Software Distributor and it makes RPM look like a childs
toy. I think RPM is only used for a lack of anything better. Another thing
to add to the wish list is a reliable and robust (Even OVSD has neither)
software packaging and delivery system. Along with that Redhat has
something called Kickstart, an OS delivery system. It is pretty sad but it
is all we have. Perhaps we could build a true OS image delivery system,
something like HP's ignite. Couple all of that with a good Revision
Control system like ClearCase and a good database backend like Oracle and
you've got yourself a top notch software delivery system. But I digress,
sorry for getting carried away, after all, this is only an OS distro :-)
