rolling an RPM takes a *lot* more time and effort than 'make install',
especially with CMake (2.6 does /very/ fast installs). It would be
REALLY GOOD to install everything as an rpm (not least because this
would clean up cruft from old builds!), but it needs to be fast, and it
needs to be do-able without using root privilege. Otherwise I think the
costs will outweigh the benefits for a lot of people.
In many situations rolling a rpm doesn't make sense. An easy example is
numerical models. You compile it, run it and there is absolutely no reason
to make it a package.
Sure, but if you didn't install it, you've obviated half the benefit
anyway. I'm interested in things that get installed.
