I agree with you that rpm is the proper way to install software on an rpm based system. However, some software is not available as rpm - and I don't believe that the end user should be responsible for creating an rpm themselves. There should at least be basic support (IE ldconfig knowing about stuff in /usr/local/lib) for installing software from source, which would also allow tools like autopackage to install there and not conflict with the rpm system. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
