Why have 3 tarballs?

The separation does not seem all that illogical however.  Why load the
whole dccd works if you just want dccproc?

No?  Can you not use dccm without dccd, like you can dccproc?  I have
never used the dccm interface.

Maybe just cleanliness and orerliness.

Doh!  I was looking for one in the root.  A couple of issues with it:

1) The version is way out of date.
2) %files hardcodes /usr/bin.  I believe %{_bindir} is pervasive
   enough to use it.
3) He substitutes sbindir for your libexec (/var/dcc/libexec).
   Who/what is supposed to call those binaries?  If not a user or
   administrator, they should go in /usr/lib/dcc (or somesuch).
4) It does not create separate packages (for dccproc and dccd and dccm
   if decided that that should be separate).

It works.  Using $(DESTDIR) in the Makefiles just seems more natural
to me than to monkey with the install targets in the RPM %install
scriptlet.  Not worth arguing over though.

I will fix the above items and submit a patch for the specfile.  Just
let me know how to split the packages.  Just dcc-dccproc and dcc-dccd
or do a dcc-dccm?  If not, which of the above two should I put dccm
into?

Also, what /var/dcc files are specific to the dccd server?

Thanx,
b.
