Thank you too Stephen! That indeed does look much more similar. Although I don't see any Apache httpd config in the package. Reading The Fine Manual briefly looks like it relies on 'rb-site install' to do this part. I was hoping to find an example where the RPM spec dropped a Django app setup right into /etc/httpd/conf.d -- in other words, a package that just assumes you will use Apache httpd, maybe even creates an empty sqlite db so things are just ready to run with a httpd restart.
I may be just trying to do too much in my spec and perhaps should rely on puppet to do the deployment and integration work.
