Linux Standards Base
Chapter 1. Software Installation
Applications shall either be packaged in the RPM packaging format as defined in this specification, or supply an installer which is LSB conforming (for example, calls LSB commands and utilities). [37]
Distributions shall provide a mechanism for installing applications in this packaging format with some restrictions listed below. [38]
