Re: [MiNT] RPM --> cpio --> TGZ

[Katherine Ellis <kellis@fdn.com>]

The whole world is pretty much using RPM by convenience. 
Want to go back to tgz?  who's up to maintain user inconsistencies with
tgz, should I put this bin in /usr/local/bin or /opt/package/bin ?
RPM is a good way to consolidate distributions, a coherant system.

tgz is very much needed still, but in many case, a rpm is more
appropriate.

That's all.
