POLL: Linux installer

Once upon the time we've discovered that there's no need for installer under
MacOS X since it is much easier to install an application by copying from
the mountable disk image.

It seems having Windows-like (wizard) installer is mauvais ton under Linuses
as well.

So what do you think would be a proper way to distribute IDEA for various
Linux platforms (Red-hat, Gentoo, Fedora Core, etc.)?

repository for the older version of yum.


As ad admin - all it takes is:

  1. cp *.rpm /some/www/dir

  2. yum-arch /some/www/dir # FC2 and prior yum repository

  3. create-repo /some/www/dir # FC3 yum repo ( xml meta data )


The above is basically what my rebuild script does. I could easily add
an apt generation line as well, but as I don't use apt, I can't be arsed ;p

Why should jetbrains maintain them? Let other people create the RPM's deb's ebuild files... whatever...

The work that Mark does is already a good start i think.

One common place where these files can be found would be much nicer I think.
