a good time to start again :-) i missed to tell another benefit: you have to specify every installed file in the %files section, so you are aware of changes in any folder-structure, as long it builds wtihout complaining with a new source-version you can be pretty sure all is sane this time virtualization is a real improvement * build packages outside production environment * provide local repos in the own LAN * setup testing machins with real data * test upgrades with real data in this life i will never ever setup a server on bare metal without having VMware ESXi as backend (clone, snapshots..)
