Maximum RPM
Bailey
Once you have Red Hat Linux installed and you want to upgrade part of
your system you'll come across a software package called the Red Hat
Package Manager. It's a powerful way of controlling the software
installed on your machine and I've started creating RPM packages from
the parts of our system that I've built just so I have a way of
bundling all the parts scattered across different directories. This
book was invaluable for both controlling the existing software and
creating my own packages.
If you are putting a lot of work into customising and writing CGI
scripts, setting up your server and getting your rc and cron
directories just so for the many parts of your system then RPM is a
wonderful tool for creating and using file sets to save all that hard
work.
This book explains it all in detail with good examples. I'd
recommend it for anyone who intends to use Red Hat Linux as the base
for a serious server.
