OK

The problem is, it DOES conflict with ingres. We've had Ingres available as
RPMs for a number of years but they don't conform to the standards. Installing
both could lead to unpredictable behavior on both side and I'd rather keep that
from occurring if I can.
> 3.List files explicit rather than %file -f  
Unless it's absolutely necessary, I'd rather not maintain file lists in the
SPEC file separately. There are over 1700 files between the 4 RPMs and the
ownership and permission for each file is maintained by one of the build tools.
In order to add the file lists to the SPEC files, I would need to do full build
of the exact same source outside of RPM, generate the files list, add them to
SPEC file and then run the RPM build. This is a fairly large over head for each
update and makes maintenance a much larger task. By using the -f flag, I can
generate the lists at build time using the existing manifest and they will
always be correct.

I'll make the other updates suggested and re-post.
