What is the difference between RPM packages and BitRock installers?
BitRock installers serve a different purpose than RPMs. RPMs are designed and optimized to package applications for a particular distribution. BitRock Installers are designed to allow the same software package to be installed across all Linux distributions. Additionally, RPMs do not allow interaction with the end-user and require root privileges to install any kind of application. BitRock installers allow full interaction with the end-user in graphical, text and unattended modes. There are scenarios where integration with the underlying package management system can be desirable. BitRock can provide support for generating RPM installers from a BitRock XML project file and integrating with the RPM database at installation time. Please email us if you are interested in these capabilities.
