“Today, Red Hat takes open source development to another level:
open source-based publishing. The availability of Maximum RPM
Version 2 (the definitive reference book for the RPM Package
Manager), expands the open source principles by allowing for
community development on a widely used community resource. Red Hat
is offering Maximum RPM v.2 for free download at
http://www.rpm.org. What you’ll find at is the original copy of
Maximum RPM in postscript format. Remember, Maximum RPM v.2 is just
starting, so what you can download is a work in progress.”

Maximum RPM v.2 is an update of the official, definitive
technical reference to the RPM system.
It provides accurate
and detailed coverage of RPM’s history, philosophy, usage, and
internals, from both the user and packager perspectives.”
