My packaging experience is limited, but I found the docs were quite poor. It took perseverance & researching install error messages to create an RPM that worked. So you might consider hiring for people willing to do that kind of work.

The good news is that I learned a tremendous amount about where programs and files should actually be installed through packaging. It was surprising to me how many conventions package managers enforce. I was also surprised how poorly software followed those conventions when installed without package managers. Packaging improves user experience, developer experience, and quality. Can’t recommend it enough!
