Re: [TCLUG:7171] compiling vs. RPM



I've come to play with creating my own package files.. Debian packages are
simple to create, I also saw a tarball out there that you could run "rpm
-ta file.tar.gz" and it would build the rpm for it.. (i think that's what
it was.. it's at work, so i would have to look at it on monday)

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
