Need Help??

kurtcobain has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I want to build an RPM package that can be installed on any architecture and OS. Is it possible? I built a RPM package on Cent OS 6 . But i am unable to install it on Cent OS 5.

<Nelson Muntz>Ha-ha!</Nelson Muntz> I doubt it is possible, maybe if you build SRPMs, see http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Rpm / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager	[reply]

Yes, it is possible to do what you ask provided you are not trying to do something specific to OS or CPU architecture. It's called a noarch RPM. how to build a noarch RPM	[reply]
