David Nally taught RPM Packaging for Systems this morning at LISA '12. There were a few absentees, but as David pointed out, it was early on a Sunday so some of that is to be expected. That didn't stop him though.
He opened up with a slide-deck to give background on why package management is a good thing, and why we as sysadmins need to be doing more of it. Not just RPM, but package-management of anything, be it .debs, Microsoft MSI's, or ruby Gems.
