If you're willing to consider an alternative...

Different package managers appeal to different sysadmins.  I found one called 
"git", (the Guarded Installation Tool by Ingo Bruekl, not Linus' "git") works 
very well for me.  The thing I especially like about it is, it helps me but 
doesn't fight with me and put me in a "Procrustean Bed".  I can make minor 
adjustments to an installed package and fix it up in git without having to redo 
everything.  No complex spec files to work out like RPM.  If you can't find it, 
or want my version with some improvements, I can send it to you--it's one 
script (a thousand line script more or less, but still one easy to handle 
script).
