A nice read anyways.. just to support RPM, yum adds recommendations and suggestions to RPM. Also 'binary programs allowed' sounds confusing as RPM does support packaging of binary files. Another plus of an RPM is the '-V' option to verify the integrity of an installed RPM (i am not sure if that exists in deb)
Well, this is meant to be talking about the stuff runpre/post installing a package. for rpm, it has to be in the spec file -- which means that it must be a script. For debian, since they are in external files, you could sneak in a compiled binary (which would be against policy, but hey, you could do it)
much clear.. thanks.
