 | | RPM is commonly found in the Linux computer operating system environment, but has been extended far beyond those initial confines. | | | The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. | | | A subset of the full RPM package feature-set is the baseline standard packaging format specified by the Linux Standard Base (which has as some of its goals to: "increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant Linux system.") |

| | Hexapedia - RPM Package Manager |
| | RPM is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base. | | | RPM installs, updates, uninstalls, verifies and queries software. | | | Users need to carefully check so that the version of the development package matches that of the binary package, otherwise the library may very well not work. |

| | Package Management with RPM |
| | RPM maintains a database of installed packages and their files, so you can invoke powerful queries and verifications on your system. | | | The files an RPM package contains are in a compressed archive, with a custom binary header containing useful information about the package and its contents, allowing you to query individual packages quickly and easily. | | | For the developer, RPM allows you to take software source code and package it into source and binary packages for end users. |

| | 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. | | | The package selection options are the same as for package querying (including package manifest files as arguments). | | | Verifying a package compares information about the installed files in the package with information about the files taken from the package metadata stored in the rpm database. |

| | RPM RedHat Package Manager |
| | It is a program designed to build and manage packages of software including the source and binaries. | | | Building a package from an rpm source package starts with the pristine sources from the developer, applies any patches from the package builder, and uses options in the SPEC file to compile and create the binary package. | | | Included in the database is a list of all files installed by RPM and which package they belong to. |

| | Linux.com - Using the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) |
| | An RPM file, also known as a "package" is a way of distributing software so that it can be easily installed, upgraded, queried, and deleted. | | | 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. | | | However, in the Unix world the defacto-standard for package distribution continues to be by way of so-called "tarballs". |

| | RPM - Perl interface to the API for the RPM Package Manager |
| | The Perl-RPM package is an extension for natively linking the functionality of the RPM Package Manager with the extension facility of Perl. | | | Additionally, there is the RPM::Constants package which provides a number of values from the rpm library, referred to by the same name used at the C level. | | | Again, this may not directly match the running system, but rather is the value that rpm is using. |

| | It is a fundamental error to equate a ported apt-get with Debian's package management. | | | APT is a front-end to Debian's own package management with an ability to resolve software and library dependencies. | | | Confidence in RPM was slowly returning into the world of Linux users - except for the users of the Red Hat distribution who will have to wait until late this year before they can enjoy supported advanced package management with dependency resolution. |
