There is a terminology problem here. The %install scriptlet is the logic required to copy the files into a layout for a future binary installation, not to install the component. Typically, the logic is the same as the logic required to install into the filesystem after a build, like doing a make install. So the way most people implement the %install scriptlet is to make install into a false root, which rpm calls BuildRoot. The BuildRoot would be set as a make variable from the command line. After %install, rpm packages the files according to the %files section. Think of %install as "prepare file layout for packaging". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
