I read a lot of talk about kpackage solving this problem. But right now kpackage only
works on RPM. But how often do you have new software as RPM? And when you use a SuSE
distribution and only find RedHat packages, it often just don't work. I think an
automatical installation for .tar.gz files would be so much better. There would be no more
need for people to build RPMs, to support a lot of different versions of the same program.
