Is there software available which will do this or assist in doing it? I'm currently looking at the stow package to see if that will do the trick but it looks like a very manual process. One of the solutions I was considering is building my own RPMs from the source, that way I can manage everything via Yast which has all the tools that I mentioned above and more. What is the learning curve like to learn to build RPMs?
I would stay with rpm. You can use checkinstall when you can not find the rpm you want and you only have the source. Gaël
