IMO it beats the purpose of RPM. One can run
rpm --rebuild lyx-1.1.6fix4-1.src.rpm
if binary is not all right for their platform.
But we do have to supply binary for the _latest_ Red Hat (7.2 or 7.1)
instead of four releases old distribution (6.1). Such a binary should
install without trouble on Suse, Mandrake, etc.
What bothers me more is that OpenBSD port of LyX is marked broken in
OpenBSD 3.0. Reason given: "does not build in any reproducible way".
I plan to contact the port maintainer to see if fix4 changes things in
any way.
