Can you please provide me with definitive rpms? I want to build my own .rpm packages after I have compiled the downloaded sources. This may even be an old question, but please reply anyway.
If you are compiling your own src code then give the package checkinstall a try. It's pretty good for building RPM's and it comes on the SuSE cd's or you can get it from the ftp site.
Once installed .. instead of typing "make install" you type checkinstall and answer the questions. It will build the package for you. :)
I'll second that. Checkinstall is great :) /Jon -- If we can't be free, at least we can be cheap!
