[mythtv-users] Stupid CVS question about default install paths?

[Brian C. Huffman]

I don't know how much you know about rpms, but something else that you
may be interested in is creating rpms from CVS.  It's no longer
available on atrpms, but you can certainly roll your own.  What I did
was download the .src file from the .15.1 distribution, installed it and
then modified the spec file.  It installs under /usr/src/redhat/SPEC.
You'll have to remove a bunch of the %atrpm variables or else define
them somewhere else.  I have created a /root/.rpmacros file that looks
like this:  

%debug_package %{nil}
 
%_logdir /var/log
%_rundir /var/run
%_sysconfigdir /etc/sysconfig
%_initdir /etc/rc.d/init.d
%_subsysdir /var/lock/subsys
%_varlibdir /var/lib
%_varcachedir /var/cache
%_logrotatedir /etc/logrotate.d
 
%_without_xvmcnvidia 0

For Fedora Core 1/2, this will set some of the variables up that are
needed.  After that, you can build the rpm w/ rpmbuild -ba <specfile>.

Anyway, if this is way more than you're interested in doing, just
ignore. :-)
