Got an e-mail address or other reference to SF Tracker? My biggest problem is that ``python setup.py install'' doesn't understand the ``--root=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT'' option, but thinks that it's installing in a private space causing all sorts of wierdness. The standard python distutils handles this quite nicely (and far more easily than dealing with CPAN installs :-). I'm building SRPMS for the OpenPKG.org portable packaging system, and my workaround has been to manually handle the install phase after doing the build.
