If anything, after deb packaging, I believe we’ll do rpm for the Red Hat and Fedora distros.
Discussion
Ah. I use that at work, for installations on the testserver.
Ah very well. Your server must be running a Red Hat Linux.
I was wondering why they were using it. That explains it, thanks.
it could be opensuse also, that uses rpm too
iirc, opensuse is a german distro, or at least it's european, debian is american
It is german !
as i understand it, quite widely used by german companies
basically nobody else in the world uses it... it also has a slightly different tool called "zypper" iirc, that does something like apt for deb packages as zypper is for rpm, similarly there is dpkg and then there is rpm
i might be misremembering, i ran opensuse for a little while
i approve of this policy... i avoid using snaps or flatpaks as much as possible because they tend to be bugging, still, with their isolation and being able to access my home directory
Tried to install a flatpak on Saturday, but it was like 15 steps and in the end it didn't work, so I installed something else with apt.
