installing packages

[Christopher Stone]

devel packages are used mainly when you compile your own applications.
 Every once in a while you will find something that doesn't have an
rpm available and you will need to compile the source code.  So if for
example you find some new apt utility that no one has made an rpm for
and you want to compile it, you may find that it requires the
apt-devel rpm installed in order to compile.  In general though, you
will probably never need apt-devel.
