In the spec file for the RPM, make is never invoked for the noarch target, because no binaries are built. That is why I added: make -C web conf.php version.php By comparison, on Debian, the binary packages and the web packages are built from a single source tree, so the make install target does get invoked before the *.php files are moved in to place. In a subsequent release, we should probably make sure `make install' does something for the web directory, but I didn't want to change too many things on this release. In fact, some of the other logic from the spec file (e.g. Carlo's change for compiling the Python code at the last moment) could and should probably be integrated into the Makefiles too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
