Danilo Spinella: rinstall: make install for non-C projects, the modern way
make install has been used for 30 years or more; it has always been the standard way of installing simple C programs and a lot of stuff that didn't have a build system capable of doing so on Linux. However, getting a Makefile right is hard and painful. Should I use `PREFIX=` or `PREFIX?=`, should I hardcode BINDIR? Installing a program should be simpler and more deterministic. Hence, rinstall has been developed, to provide a way to install programs without studying the entire GNU Standard Directory reference. How does it work? More importantly, how do we use it in openSUSE? This talk will give a rundown of the issues that rinstall fixes and the integration in a distribution.
