openSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOSopenSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOSPosted Jan 24, 2008 18:11 UTC (Thu) by epa (subscriber, #39769)Parent article: openSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOS
Cool, all we need now is a kind of 'fat RPM' that contains all the necessary stuff for twelve different Linux distributions, built automatically and with the system detected by rpm at installation, and people who want to distribute binary packages of software will have an end to their headaches. Who cares if the package becomes 1200 megs big, it will probably be distributed on DVD anyway.

That does not mean big one-size-fits-all "fat RPMs", but rather multiple RPMs compiled from a single set of sources, each for a different distro and release.
