"Installation script tracing", yes; "a unique build system", i'm 
unqualified to comment, i'm afraid...

...But after reading the RPM spec-files you contributed (about which i 
was previously unaware) as well as some ArchLinux pkgbuild-files, 
couldn't the same characterization be applied to those PM's also (along 
with several others, i imagine)?

The ones i've seen that fit this description all use DESTDIR as well, 
which implies that this box ought to be checked additionally.

If you've devised a method of collating these responses that is being 
skewed by my inaccuracy, i sincerely apologise.

On a slightly unrelated note, 'config.site' does the same sort of job as 
portage's 'make.conf' & it's related files, which i find extremely 
beneficial, so i could probably have included something to that effect 
in my original reply as well.

Hope that helps (rather than hinders),
