Hi Russel, Thanks for the response (and everyone else who responded). Binary RPMS are a problem for me since I'm distributing a driver. I would have to support tons of configurations, for each kernel/distribution pair. I think binary RPMS probably make sense for applications that aren't tightly coupled with the kernel version. I assume for drivers that a tarball and an SRPM is the way to go. By the way - I haven't used alien, but I assumed that it would work on SRPMS. If that's not true, then the tarball is really the only distribution method for drivers?
