RPM packages

Linux packages are RPMs, which have the following characteristics:

RPMs are both uploaded and installed as a unit so there is no distinction between container and installable packages.
RPMs are versioned.

RPM metadata

SA uses the metadata contained in RPMs when creating the package entries in the list of packages. An RPM contains the following metadata - the name, epoch, version, architecture and release of the RPM.

When a user uploads an RPM, SA performs the following actions:

Opens the RPM and parses its metadata.
Registers the RPM as an installable package.

When you upload a Linux RPM package to SA, the policies related to that RPM may be updated. See Set installation and update options for a RPM for more information.
