  Then please don't complain about the complexity of the setup on 
the application list. If you deliberately opted for the hard way and
doing everything by yourself, then you should not complain that there
is work down the road. Some things like for example maintaining catalogs
etc... can be really easy when packaging is present and a real nightmare
when you're doing the install without any underlying structure.

   seems you didn't looked very far. RPMs and other packages are working
on those.
