As I'm sure you're already aware, Gordon, we have historically tried to stick to
an entirely linear, no-optional-extras format to the book. As such, I would
prefer it if we just went whole-heartedly into DESTDIR support, no ifs, buts or
maybes :-).
That said, with the rumblings of additional architecture support, I don't think
our traditional linear style is going to hold out much longer.
So, I'd be more than happy to review any patch(es) you make against trunk. I
suspect this may need a change to jhalfs, which I use to automate my builds,
so that it will optionally define your make_package() function, but I don't
think that will be too hard for me, you or someone else to fix up.
Thanks for working on this! It's alway nice to see new contributors!
Regards,
Matt.
