RPM 4.20 Released With Declarative Build System Support, Public Plugin API


RPM 4.20 is out today as the newest feature release to this package manager system that's been in development the past year and featuring a variety of improvements for the likes of RHEL and Fedora based distributions.

This reduces boilerplate while still allowing packagers to tweak these steps if necessary, such as to conform to the distribution’s guidelines or preferences. Note that RPM itself will not ship these definitions by itself, this is left to the distributions or build system maintainers. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
