I know this is something weird question, but for curiosity sake.. Can I make an RPM installer from a tar source which have already set-up (./configure --blah --blah --etc)? coz i like to maintain most directory being used from an RPM installer of squid or from the Linux default config of squid installer..
RPM requires full build instructions to be scripted in the spec file, but if you know how to build Squid manually then writing that spec file is trivial.
But generally it is better to start from an existing source RPM and update it to your needs.
