Mainly because I'll need to test other things other than just Red Hat systems, I'll also need to test versions on AIX, Solaris, and other Linux systems. | [reply] |
The fact that RedHat (and most other vendors) wrote this code has no bearing on what systems the code will run. I meant to say that you should sourcedive the RPM manager and lift the version-checking code from it. (Or apt-get, if you're Debian-inclined.)
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
