Description by john:
Design of the install scripts needs to be revised so that it is possible to write an RPM spec that doesn't require patching of so many files. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Primarily this requires that the 'configure' command should be run with different file locations to the 'install' command. For example ./configure --bin_dir=/usr/bin but ./install --bin_dir=/var/tmp/campsite-root/usr/bin This would be facilitated by ensuring a clean separation of scripts which prepare configuration files with those that copy files into their final location. Also, makefiles which can be overridden by environment defaults are preferable - the 'make.env' include make this difficult in the context of RPM.
