When you say it's not widespread I am not sure what you mean? There are 1000s of RPM packages available including things like elasticsearch.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoThere are RPMs for all sorts of general purpose software, of course, but it's rare to deploy one's own apps (as in the one that runs your product or whatever) via RPM.
- aprdm 9y agoI don't think it is. Redhat and centos are very common server platforms. Maybe in startup world it is but older companies have been deploying own apps with rpms for a while. You can download RPM for multiple paid software apps today. I am very surprised when I want to install an app and don't see it to be honest. When I use RPM for my own apps I think of it as a self contained blob of data that has everything required to run an application . Basically a tarball on steroids which let's you version, upgrade and list dependencies. For example of you are doing a django app it's a decent way to not depend on pip and/or the external world to deploy your software and achieve immutable builds.
