Ok. What will be replacing them?
Help create properly autotooled rpm transparently for people that don't
care about infrastructure stuff. You already have cluster managers that
use rpm as a payload. That takes care of the deployment, of the
interfering stuff in /usr/local, etc
In any case I doubt it may be as simple as what we have with static
libs, with statically linked executables created by adding -static to
the link command line...
You focus too much on the current technical solution and not enough on
user needs. The problem is not to replicate the same old & broken
solution ad vitam eternam but to make the correct technical solution
attractive enough for users to switch.
I won't share nuggets of ass-backwards common wisdom here, that would
strike to close to my employer systems, but sometimes you need to
re-asses why a particular solution was chosen at a time and if you can
not achieve the original goals better now with stuff that was not
available a decade ago.
