Are you installing from source, or just building the RPMs from source?
I have been installing from source. I see the potential benefit from
doing RPM installs. I guess I'd feel a stronger urge to do it if I were
having to manage several servers, too. Definitely food for thought.
It's only a benefit if using Linux unless there is rpm for Solaris and FreeBSD
that I am not aware of. How's Courier in pkgadd :)
I typically run --prefix on my courier configures and install these under one
directory like:
/usr/local/courier
That way, I just tar up the whole /usr/local/courier and replicate across the
nodes in a cluster.
No need for RPM in my case.
