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.

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]

<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]
