distutils really only plays at the SRPM level - there is no defined OS neutral RPM equivalent. That's why I brought up the bdistsimple discussion earlier in the thread - if we can agree on a standard bdistsimple format, then we can more cleanly decouple the "build" step from the "install" step.

That was essentially the key insight I was trying to communicate in my "think about the end users" comment. Thanks, Nick!

Comments on the rest of your email to follow (if needed) when I've digested it... Paul
