Its been a long time since Maximum RPM was written. In the mean time the rpm package tool has grown from a command-line tool and C programming API into much more. Its become the base for many linux distributions, and companies are using it to deploy linux throughout their IT infrastructure.The parts of redhat's new RPM book that I most appreciated have been the in-depth examination of the modern rpm .spec file, from which packages get built, and the descriptions of the perl and python API's for the rpm interface. Documentation for these areas have been lacking, and this book covers them thoroughly.This book worked very well as a reference to aide my company's linux deployment.Speaking only for myself,-Peter
