	RPM Package Manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		RPM Package Manager (originally Red Hat Package Manager, abbreviated RPM) in the context of package management refers to two things: a software package file format, and the original tool developed to manage those packages.
		However, this is not a problem inherent in the RPM format, but rather a problem of co-ordination amongst major distributions who use RPM in packaging such as Red Hat Linux, SUSE, and Mandriva Linux.
		RPM packages are created from RPM spec files using the rpmbuild tool.

	RPM Package Manager (Linux Reviews)
		RPM Package Manager (or RPM, originally called "Red Hat Package Manager") is a package management system primarily intended for Linux.
		RPM is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base.
		RPM is often used by another tool for handling dependencies, such as the Yellow dog Updater Modified (yum) or (the RPM compatible version of) the Advanced Packaging Tool (apt).

	Using the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		RPM files contain information on the package's name, version, other file dependency information (if applicable), platform (such as Intel or Alpha, etc.), as well as default file install locations.
		The RPM method of packaging files has become popular and is used not only on Red Hat's but on some other distributions as well.
		RPM will either tell you what version of the package is already installed, or that the package is not installed.

	rpm(8): RPM Package Manager - Linux man page
		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.
		As rpm already knows the type to print, the type specifier must be omitted however, and replaced by the name of the header tag to be printed, enclosed by {} characters.
		The package selection options are the same as for package querying (including package manifest files as arguments).

		RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system that is used for installing, uninstalling, verifying, and updating software packages for Linux and most Unix distributions.
		RPM version 4.0.4 and possibly other versions fail to properly verify the authenticity of signed RPM packages in certain situations.
		CVE-2002-2204: The default --checksig setting in RPM Package Manager 4.0.4 checks that a package's signature is valid without listing who signed it, which can allow remote attackers to make it appear that a malicious package comes from a trusted source.

	RPM2 - Perl bindings for the RPM Package Manager API
		There are three main entrypoints into the package -- either through the database of installed rpms (aka the rpmdb), through a file on the filesystem (such as kernel-2.4.9-31.src.rpm or kernel-2.4.9-31.i386.rpm, or via an rpm transaction.
		When run the updates to the system and the rpm database are treated as on ``transaction'' which is assigned a transaction id. This can be queried in install packages as the INSTALLTID, and for repackaged packages they have the REMOVETID set.
		Note, this should be obvious, but the package header must come from an rpm file, not from the RPM database.

	The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) - OIT Help Desk
		Since RPM is a package manager, you can install, remove, build, rebuild, and view your packages.
		RPM file names usually consist of the package name ("package"), the version ("1.2.3"), the build number or patch level by Red Hat ("4"), the architecture it was built to run on, ("i386"), and the "rpm" extension.
		Sometimes you have to force a package to install, because maybe you had it installed, but some of its files got deleted and you want to have the complete package again.

	RedHat Package Manager Tips
		Packages must be signed, as otherwise an attacker will be able to run arbitrary software should a distribution server be broken into.
		I recommend each user signing packages create their own signing key, to rotate in new keys periodically, and to resign packages with a new key when a user leaves.
		If a package signer leaves a site, their public keys should be removed from all systems, and any packages signed by them resigned with a new key.
