With my +1, that's six.
So can i say in other words that if applications built using say GTK
application built using glade which automatically creates Makefiles
must use always
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
and not %makeinstall
AND if upstream package developer himself written a Makefile then he must use
%makeinstall ??
I need explanation on my understanding.
