Starting with version 5.0 and ending with version 7.3. At the time I was used to building and maintaining my own RPM packages. Although the creation of the source package was at first glance easier than for deb packages, building binary packages was always a big pain. Towards the end I was happy when I could use apt-get for RPM. I've been using Debian since version 3.0 and when I learned how to build packages and use pbuilder, it was a huge relief and much easier work than ever before with RPM. Some time ago I switched from pbuilder to schroot + sbuild, but the principle remains the same and just as simple. Conversely, when I needed to solve some problem with building an RPM package, I tried to find some tool comparable to pbuilder (I found a mock), but there was a lot of pain in the RPM package management tools. From my point of view, the state is so unfinished, one project replaces the other, so in the final they are all constantly "in development". I considered the "most perfect" when I found instructions for building "dnf" from the source code, which stated to use "dnf build dnf". In fact, I did not understand how anything "enterprise" can be based on such an unstable state of basic package management tools. Cheers -- Slávek
