Third Party packagers


An interesting phenomena of the structured method of RPM creation, the maturization of the Open Source movement's scope of coverage at the ISO application layer and on down, and the prevasiveness of internet connectivity and inexpensive large capacity hardware, is that a 'lone' packager or small developer group can create a complete 'Distribution', or flesh out niche vertical market collections.

In no particular order we are aware of:

Independent packaging collectives


Also interesting is the emergence of groups of packagers uniting for lots of good reasons - common packaging techniques, shared QA, enhanced scalability of scope of coverage, and (hopefully) intra-repository binary compatability within a target upstream or local Distribution.
