That is how I read it as well. As long as we provide some way of installing
rpms compatible with the standard they mention then we can still install
anything else in any way we want.

Now I have no knowledge of rpms so I have no idea of how hard it would be to
do, but really I don't see it as that important. Use their work to get
applications and distros to standardise to something and our job is all the
more easier.

My 2 cents worth.

ps. See this is what you get when I get left home sick and waiting for
machines to reinstall......

At the bottom though is this:

"The distribution itself may use a different packaging format for its
own packages, and of course it may use any available mechanism for
installing the LSB-conformant packages."

doesn't that mean that we can install our packages anyway we want
(source code), but we have to provide a way to handle rpms as well?
