First and foremost, SLOW DOWN!!!! How about some baby steps instead of leaps and bounds. The recent threads are going nowhere because we have 20 individual topics crammed into one thread. There have been 4 now that have all resulted in no clear direction. DESTDIR sounds like a logical first step. I've excluded the rest of your message as it doesn't seem useful just yet. Again, knowing nothing about the various PMs, I've made some assumptions. Can someone confirm or deny those for me? For RPM, I've made the assumption that you take a spec file and a source tarball, and create an installable binary package, then install that package. I don't suppose that the second step is automated only by rpm itself, so the installation portion is different. I expect that, but are the configure, make, make install commands the same for all DESTDIR methods? Looking at different PMs, how much will be in common WRT to CMMI? On DESTDIR installs, DESTDIR can be an exported environment variable and the target cleaned out after every installation is completed. If that is possible, then the no PM group, the install-watch group, and the timestamp group are completeley unaffected by the changes for a mass majority of the packages as DESTDIR="". I'm looking for simplicity in common instructions first. Again, take some baby steps, one thing at a time. Lets try not make things so complicated just yet. If the above handles getting DESTDIR into the current book, with such simplicity, then get that part done first. Explicitly set DESTDIR="" for the first cut and the book still works as is. If not, then if you would be so kind as to explain away my assumptions, it'd be much appreciated by me for certain, but would help in educating the rest of the readers as well WRT RPM anyway. Also, the same goes for other DESTDIR PMs that anybody would care to explain.
