My last gig was for a company that solved the problem by rolling all known package formats for their product. My task was to take their software and roll it up into rpm, deb, pkg, etc for every possible type of packaging system. Tar files are universal (sort of), but the point was that people want their software to be delivered in the packaging format that's native to the system it gets installed on. -- Time flies like the wind.
