Trust me, you can't call it Bluecurve. ;-) I'm hoping to make a release with a "configure --with-name=Wonderland" type of feature. I'm not sure I can convince automake to do this, but worth a try. Otherwise you probably have to do "make install" and then a lot of mv/sed action as part of the packaging. I could actually put the mv/sed action in our spec file and leave the tarball name as "Wonderland" instead of "Bluecurve" > Also, if the Makefile hacking does stuff like disabling the Qt themes, > you want a newer redhat-artwork as I submitted patches to Havoc to give > ./configure options such as --disable-qt-themes.
