Suggest two advantages that rpm files have over source distributions.

What will be an ideal response?


Some advantages are automatic dependency resolution, fast installation, sim-
ple uninstall, ability to query the package database, and easier deployment.
Also, many software packages with complicated configuration scripts exam-
ine the local system to determine which options to compile with, so you may
end up with different executables on different systems. Using distribution
binary packages keeps documentation consistent with installed programs and
makes it possible for developers to reproduce bugs more easily.
