Commercial software is an evil some of us have to live with and as long as I have no choice I figured I'd try and make it as painless as possible. So I've been packaging the various commercial software around into Fedora-friendly RPMs so that I can move away from an NFS or rsync-ed /usr/local. So far I've done Matlab R14sp1, Mathematica 5, the PGI compiler suite and RealPlayer. (OK, RealPlayer was already an RPM but doing everything in a postinstall script is pretty nasty.) I doubt there up to proper Fedora standards but at least they work.
Is anyone else doing this? Is there a place where we can exchange specfiles?
We have: mathematica matlab r13 and r14 maple nag and absoft fortran compilers
among others.
I don't think there is a place to exchange spec files, though there is nothing keeping you from posting yours or posting a .nosrc. rpm.
ATrpms would *love* to host nosrc.rpm/specfiles for numerical/engineering packages!
Get me those mathematica/matlab/maple and nag specfiles now! 8-)
