Yes. On RHEL we usually package qemu-kvm only, but we try to avoid conflicts in case other flavors of qemu be provided by third-parties (read: EPEL). > > I'd rather we use a PACKAGE_NAME define to do that and have qemu-kvm > change PACKAGE_NAME. I tried to mimic --mandir, --datadir, --docdir, and all other options that expect full paths instead of trying to building one itself. A --package-name option could be provided to make it easier to override all the defaults at the same time, but I don't see why not include an option to define the full path for confdir, just like we allow for datadir, docdir, and mandir. -- Eduardo
