If you can live with the mess you get with that directory > structure ;-) If you're only building half a dozen to a couple of dozen RPMs, this structure works just fine. I released PostgreSQL RPMs for five years doing it that way. At the same time, I built several other RPMsets, both for release and for personal use, small and large packages alike (including kernels for non-Intel archs from source RPM).... If you're building a distribution, you need something much more sophisticated, for sure. But for a handful, this is the easy way to do it. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
