Hello there,
Below is a blog post of Will Partain from Verilab, he covered some important challenges of maintaining different versions of the same commercial software side by side. He talks about RPM and YUM and how big EDA Vendors can benefit with the already installed system libraries. Afterwards he points to Fedora's "alternatives system" to default an application from several valid alternatives as a possible example.

There is a good example of this "alternatives system" here: http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/6-Wednesday-Why-The-A...
Do you know any successful migration of commercial software deployment to YUM/RPM? Any URLs ? I know skype and acroread are available on their respective yum repositories.

Atmel also uses yum to distribute its AVR32 development tools: http://www.atmel.no/avr32/fedora/9/i386/

Thanks Scott, I knew some of Atmel's engineers run fedora at work, however I was not aware that Atmel had a yum repo.
