Re: [Bobs-devel] make distcheck works

[Rene R. <re...@gr...>]

the crontab installation is a problem. I cannot create an rpm with the
current setup. We need some other way of doing this.

The one thing I can think of on top of my head is issueing a notice
after "make install" which prompts the user to do "make install-cron" to
complete the install. Or a "./configure --without-croninstall" option. 
In any case I need a way to disable the cron installation when building
an rpm. The cron file should be generated though, so I can use it in the
spec file.

Let me know what you think
