But the technique displayed there just manually installs all the files. It doesn't put them in the RPM database so that the files are tracked. The RPM I created essentially performs all the tasks described in the Tip, but it uses the Fedora RPM instead of the Mandriva one (should be a better match to CentOS), and the result is an RPM, not a raw installation. BTW, I found that the initscript included in the Fedora RPM launches the server as root instead of mumble-server (unprivileged user) and murmur must drop privs once started. This causes the log file and sqlite DB to be created owned by root, which causes problems later. The fix is to use the --user option in the initscript. I need to cut another SRPM to address that.
