If you're only building half a dozen to a couple of dozen RPMs, this structure
works just fine. I released PostgreSQL RPMs for five years doing it that
way. At the same time, I built several other RPMsets, both for release and
for personal use, small and large packages alike (including kernels for
non-Intel archs from source RPM)....
If you're building a distribution, you need something much more sophisticated,
for sure. But for a handful, this is the easy way to do it.
