Redhat Package Manager
rpm is a powerful Package Manager, which can be used to build, install,query, verify, update, and erase individual software packages. A pack-
age consists of an archive of files and meta-data used to install and
erase the archive files. The meta-data includes helper scripts, file
attributes, and descriptive information about the package. Packages
come in two varieties: binary packages, used to encapsulate software to
be installed, and source packages, containing the source code and
recipe necessary to produce binary packages.
