RPM Frontends / Depsolvers

  • YUM is an RPM frontend written in Python.
  • libzypp/zypper is an RPM frontend written in C/C++ (used by openSUSE, SLES and Ark Linux). It uses SAT solver for dependency solving.
  • DNF is an RPM frontend written in Python. It uses SAT solver for the hard work.
  • Urpmi is an RPM frontend written in Perl (used by Mageia and Mandriva)
  • APT-RPM is an RPM port of the Debian APT package management tool written in C++.
  • SmartPM is another frontend for RPM (also works with DEB, Slackware etc packaging formats) written mostly in Python

Packager tools

  • rpmlint is a tool for checking for common errors in RPM packaging.
  • rpmdevtools contains scripts and (X)Emacs support files to aid in RPM packaging.
  • cpan2rpm generates RPM packages from Perl CPAN modules.
  • cpanspec is another tool for creating RPM packages from Perl CPAN modules.
  • rpmrebuild is a tool that can generate a spec from an already installed RPM (useful when you don't have access to real source rpm, eg with packages of proprietary software)

Language bindings

  • perl-RPM2 provides an object-oriented interface to RPM facilities for Perl.
  • perl-RPM4 provides an object-oriented interface to RPM facilities for Perl.
  • RPM-Specfile is a Perl extension for creating RPM specfiles.
  • python-specfile is a Python library for parsing and manipulating RPM spec files. Main focus is on modifying existing spec files, any change should result in a minimal diff.
  • Python bindings for RPM are distributed as part of RPM releases.
  • JRPM is a java library to manipule and create RPM archives.
  • Redline is a pure Java library for manipulating RPM Package Manager packages.
  • php-rpminfo allows to retrieve information from RPM files or from the installed RPMs database from PHP. See docs for details.
