> Where would I communicate the request that the above standard should
> include a “binary-distribution" target that deletes everything except
> files necessary for a “build install”.
>
> For example, I would build gcc on one server, then do a “make binary-
> distribution”, then rsync it to other servers, where I can to a make
> install.
>
> To go along with this,
> there should be a make target that builds a runtime-requirements file,
> containing an inventory of everything that will be required for the
> package to run, and
> there should be a program that compares the information in runtime-
> requirements with the current system to diagnose any problems that
> might interfere with an install.
