>Take a look at any RedHat ( or any similar, RPM-based linux system):
>/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/my-package
>/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/my-package
Just to complement, the RPM (not only Redhat) way :
Sources (+ patches) are in :
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
ie: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/jakarta-tomcat-src.tar.gz
How to build the binary RPM is in :
/usr/src/redhat/SPEC/
ie: /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/jakarta-tomcat.spec
The build expand sources and goes to :
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/
ie: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/jakarta-tomcat/
After the build, normally the install copy necessary files
in /var/tmp/mypackage :
ie: /var/tmp/jakarta-tomcat/
There you'll find /usr/bin, /etc/httpd/conf/, .....
ie: /var/tmp/jakarta-tomcat/usr/bin/tomcat.sh
/var/tmp/jakarta-tomcat/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
The RPM finish the build and start the packaging by grabing
all the files under /var/tmp/jakarta-tomcat/ and add them
to the revelant package.
An important point is that you tell RPM which files to put in
which packages. for examples tomcat has 2 packages :
tomcat-xxxx.noarch.rpm and tomcat-manual-xxxx.noarch.rpm
More important you'll find the tomcat-xxxx.src.rpm.
And that will help you replay (rebuild) the build process
on you own system :!!!!!
But what all of you say about poluting the source tree is
right so I'll turn to -1 for TC 3.x.
