This would be mad. A generic RPM would be great!
Just as long as there is a standard .tar.gz for all us people who don't use RPM.
And can someone clarify what no arch is? Does that mean no architecture ie. there are no binaries in the package?
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't an RPM have a pre-defined structure for where the files go?
How exactly could you produce an RPM to put RC in a webroot if you don't know where that webroot is when you built the RPM?
And if is there is a standard webroot for RPM based distributions, what about the people who don't install RC system wide? Or in a virtual hosted domain?
I could be wrong in my assumptions about RPM (given that I tend to avoid anything RPM related like the plague), but I just can't see how it would work.
