Hey Lamar!
I think we have to be careful not to conflate two different goals
here. The RPMs for 3.x (AFAIK) were created (AFAIK) mostly for
the benefit of existing community members. That's great. But one
of the things we're discussing in this thread is creating
packages for a target audience with far less expertise (and
possibly for use in a fairly well-defined vertical app). If so, then
the choices we make for that goal are likely to be very different.
I would add that, at least for dotLRN, Windows and Mac OS X
installers are probably as important as good linux installers.
