I don't necessarily agree with that. I feel like packages, and especially linux RPMs have too many dependancies built in. This results in making me chase my own tale when I want to upgrade just one thing, forcing me to upgrade everything and anything. Case in point: Last time i tried to install Snort 2.1.3 from RPM on a newly installed Redhat Enterprise 3.0 machine, it said it needed a newer version of libpcre, then when i tried to upgrade that it told me that it needed a newer version of glibc. I attempted to upgrade glibc through rpm and only after forcing rpm to do it, after it complained a few times, did I realize that rpm is linked against libc libraries and I was essentially asking it to uninstall and reinstal a part of itself. Of course rpm core dumped, I was stuck with a machine that thought it had two versions of libc on it at the same time, but could use neither and I couldn't do anything on that box since. Had to rebuild. Luckily it was just a test machine. Now, had I just pulled down the source and compiled it myself none of this would have been an issue.
