Thanks; that's nicely simpler than what I'd been using before, with
prefix= and docdir= settings. With that tweak, I think my Mutt spec
file may just be simple enough, close enough to generic, to deserve
consideration for inclusion in the Mutt distribution. If you were to
place the spec file anywhere inside the tarball --- e.g. in
contrib/redhat/mutt.spec --- anywhere, as long as the filename ends
in .spec --- then RPM users who download the tarball could
automatically build the rpm by going
sudo rpm -ta mutt-1.2i.tar.gz
One other tweak that I'd encourage considering. If there were some
way you could rig the "make install" process so it doesn't bomb off
in the middle if it can't make mutt_dotlock sgid mail or whatever,
then the spec file could specify the correct perms, and a full
successful rpm build would run fine as any normal, non-privileged
user, and privs would only be needed for the actual install. I
believe I've specified the right perms in the spec file, so the only
reason this build has to be run as root is to prevent the make
install step from failing.
