Maximum RPM




        ISBN: 1-888172-78-9

        Written in close cooperation with Marc Ewing and Erik Troan, the
developers of the RPM technology, Maximum RPM is the official, definitive
technical reference to the RPM system. It provides accurate and detailed
coverage of RPM's history, philosophy, usage, and internals, from both the
user and packager perspectives.

        New users of RPM will appreciate the gentle introduction to
package management as well as the step-by-step examples of RPM in daily
use. You'll learn how to install and upgrade packages, perform
sophisticated RPM database queries, and verify your RPM-based system. 

        In addition to covering RPM from the user perspective, Maximum RPM
tells you how to build your own RPM packages. You'll learn the right way
to build RPM packages that are easy to use and maintain. For seasoned RPM
packagers, this volume covers many advanced packaging techniques,
including: 

            relocatable packages 
            building packages without root access 
            package dependencies 
            using the RPM library 
            supporting multiple architectures 

        RPM currently runs on Linux, IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, AIX, HP/UX,
AmigaOS, and FreeBSD, and is quickly becoming the de-facto packaging
standard for free software on the Internet.

        Author: Edward Bailey is an operating systems specialist with over
fifteen years of experience in OpenVMS, Unix, Linux, and Windows NT. He
currently provides high-level system support for users at the National
