Re: cleaning up %install section

[Hiren Patel <patelhn telkom co za>]

i agree with the other folks on using multiple rpms, one source rpm can
produce multiple binary rpms, so you would only have to maintain one
spec file/source rpm.

by shell file globs i mean working with files using wildcards such as:
mv *.db /some/place
somecommand /some/place/*.db
mv *.cert /some/place

etc.
