Make RPM

I want to slap all of the mentally-challenged people who dream up the idea of having an RPM package be a Make target.

You don't make an RPM from within the build process, you dickwad; you build your little package from within the RPM build process. Got it? One thing only fits within another the one way, no matter how appealing it is. Like the entire SuSE distribution, you people don't quite get the idea that the RPM contains all the bits required to buidl the RPM; most of the time, your little make-rpm build process fucks that over so that the package can't be rebuilt the way it needs to be.

The packages your frankenstein process creates are abominations and nothing like what's intended by the entire RPM methodology. Then again, maybe you're all SuSE people anyway, and would probably stomp over your root volume during a real build process anyway. You're the kind of people who want to start the car without getting into it.

Fuck, you people piss me off.
