The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), recently renamed the Resource Package Manager (RPM), is an easy-to-use tool that automatically installs, updates, or removes Linux software packages. RPM is designed to work with source (un-compiled) or binary (pre-compiled) code placed in a package consisting of an application package name and release number. Packages always end in .rpm.

An example of the RPM naming convention is: dhcp-3.0.1-11.i386.rpm

The rpm name consists of a four-part naming convention. Each part is separated by either a dash or a period in the form of name-version-release.architecture_ type.rpm.

In the above rpm naming convention example, the package name, dhcp, is followed by a dash. The version number follows the package name. In the example the version number is 3.0.1 followed by a dash. The package’s release number is 11 (this is the 11th release for version 3.0.1) followed by a period. The subsequent name part, i386, identifies the hardware architectural type that the release is written to run on, and the last name part identifies the file as an rpm file.

Once an rpm package is loaded, it drops the architecture (i386) and rpm extension name parts.

The rpm database is found in /var/lib/rpm

    Abstract - Advanced Packaging Technology (M) Sdn Bhd is a “small-medium” enterprise, or SME whose business is in packaging consumer products with an annual turnover of US$ 7.5 million. Like many small businesses in the industry, APT started out 30 years ago. Its IT system primarily consists of computers and a broadband connection with little or no integration across functions and departments. This has long supported the business that has until recently relied on near obsolete plant and machinery. As APT upgrades its plant and machinery in response to improved technologies and customer needs, it is our contention that the company’s archaic stand-alone IT application model will no longer be sufficient to support the demands of a competitive environment. A review of the company’s business processes and desired outcomes was carried out before comparisons in productivity gains and cost efficiencies were made between an upgraded in-house enterprise resource model versus an outsourced cloud model. It was found that the latter, besides being less capital investment intensive initially, would also bring greater productivity gains and significant cost efficiencies after process redesigns. It was helpful that the outsource partner already had its own enterprise software that was able to support the needs of multiple companies in the industry which allowed further cost savings.…
