Thanks, I have no problems adding this as long as we keep the FHS style as default. I guess others on this list will be happy about this change. At the top of the spec file I see that the version and release can be sent as parameters. Is this very useful? One rpm/src.rpm will have a fixed release/version (at least from my view). Did you have a need in particular here? >In the process I've cleaned up some minor stuff and >parameterized it for '--without ssl' and '--with inusr' (the >later causes installation under /usr using standard RedHat/FHS >paths). Great. I've experimented with getting --without-ssl etc.. to work with the src.rpms for about half a year ago, but I failed. :/ Thanks for your contribution!
