Hi,
could somebody add a mention of adding INSTALL="install -p" to argument
of 'make install' as a fix of preserving the time stamp during install
to the packaging guidelines?

This really should be in the spec file templates as well, since it's
such a common packaging bug (and shouldn't break anything either).
Well, you are a new-comer to packaging, aren't you?
Otherwise you'd likely know that "install -p" is highly controversal,
because it doesn't guarantee consistency of timestamps and is mostly
"eye-candy".
