Except that the ARMEL repositories of RPM distributions are so utterly pathetic when compared to debians.

That's the debate. Why would RPM sources have the change when their distro doesn't cross-compile or maintain an active ARM repo? That would be pointless.

Anyway.. it's all moot: As long as there already is an ARM port of it somewhere.. it's stupid simple to make either a deb or rpm from it to fit our needs.
