Hi Alon,

    Don't know about the one rule fits all.  Not to pick on the SUSE folks,
but I really want to see RHEL/Fedora.  If you get it to work under that
the SUSE folks should be able to cope, but I don't know for sure.

    Using the "rpmbuild -ta" method would get rid on guys like me
constantly whining about RPMs.  It would also greatly increase the
number code testers.

    Here is a good example of a tar ball that works perfectly with
"rpmbuild -ta":

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/rdesktop/rdesktop/1.7.0/rdesktop-1.7.0.tar.gz

Sometimes an example beets all the verbiage in the world.

Many thanks,
