May I suggest another way to say it?
It is great that there exists such packaging methods as RPM, but it is even
greater there exist more than one!
RPMs are RedHat's contribution to these, but you would'nt assume everyone
out there uses RedHat as a GNU/Linux distribution, would you?
Otherwise you would better assume every computer in the world runs
MS-Windows...
So, I totally agree with the great idea to have up-to-date RPMs available.
I would just _as totally_ disagree to not have any access to any other form
of distribution of Netatalk! (Which, of course, would be as up-to-date as
the RPM version!)
Just to make the point clear...

Could I suggest to start a separate mailing list on the sourceforge site, aptly entitled "I hate RPMs". That way all those who feel that way can hobble around in there and preach to their choir - and the rest of us can feel free to not have to continually put up with that chorus everytime someone uses the word 'RPM' in any post.
Harry -- CAN'T SEE MAC IN CHOOSER UNDER RedHat 6.2: If you get errors starting AppleTalk under RedHat 6.2 and Mandrake 7.1, you need to manually add "alias net-pf-5 appletalk" to your /etc/conf.modules file.
