The rpm elevator speech

[Richard Siddall <cobalt elirion net>]

I've been packaging up a web application as RPMs.  While writing up the
README file, I had difficulty coming up with a short synopsis of what
rpm is.  (I find I tend to concentrate on the "build-once, install many"
feature and neglect the system management aspect.)

If you had to concisely summarize what rpm is, what would you say?
