That is the standard procedure for rpm (and also deb) building. prefix is the place where the package will be installed and run, destdir is the place where the package is installed the first time. So prefix and destdir fill different roles. This allows to install to a temporary directory and from there copy the tree hierarchy to install in other machines. It is easier then to see what are the files packaged. FWIW distutils supports distdir, and I would be surprised not to see this support in scons. It is a standard feature. > Bo -- José Abílio
