Create a pretty GUI interface for a RPM
JJ
will torch me for even posing this question:
Linux application development is flourishing within our corporation but
the end user community is not keeping up with this progress. Long story
short, application users do not want to deal with a normal RPM install
process and want a pretty interface where they can press the Next
button three times and be done with the installer. Think Windows
Installer :( Is there a tool or community out there that is working on
a solution to this "problem"? Any pointers in the right direction are
appreciated.

Thank you, no.
How about the plethora of GUI's *on top* of rpm?
kpackage, Synaptic to name a couple off the top of my head.

Where is the kpackage that ...
1) compiles on Fedora Core 3
SMOOTH!
2) it is with dependencies either for kde3.3 at least or for gnome2 at
least..
???

nowadays...(sigh)

gnorpm is deprecated.
Synaptic is available from Fedora Extras.
kpackage (included in kdeadmin) is available from the kde-redhat project,

functionality? On paper it looks like the tool to use for Windows users
running Linux. Any real world experience out there?
