Commercial software is an evil some of us have to live with and as long as I have no choice I figured I'd try and make it as painless as possible. So I've been packaging the various commercial software around into Fedora-friendly RPMs so that I can move away from an NFS or rsync-ed /usr/local. So far I've done Matlab R14sp1, Mathematica 5, the PGI compiler suite and RealPlayer. (OK, RealPlayer was already an RPM but doing everything in a postinstall script is pretty nasty.) I doubt there up to proper Fedora standards but at least they work. Is anyone else doing this? Is there a place where we can exchange specfiles? - J<
