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

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.
