Does the RPM build process have an equivalent of dpkg-shlibdeps?
only since recently... but in general, RPM and DEB are really
functionally equivalent. RPM *is* a good packaging system, it's other
things which make .rpm based systems suck (read my next post).
I've never felt RPM was as good as DEB. RPM-based distros just don't seem
to be as maintainable over the long haul.
Personally, I have issues with a binary-based distribution. I am enamored
of the *BSD ports system and buildworld. :-)

With the nice, cheap machines available now (you can pick up a Dual 1.5ghz
Athlon with 1gig of ram for 1300$), compiling everything yourself is a
possibility, but I have a dozen or so 486's, IPX's, udb's chugging along
that would all but choke and die if I were to apt-get source and build
everything.
