I install http, php, postgresql etc in the /usr/local directories and
have removed the rpms for those. I actually removed the rpms of those
packages prior to final installation of the tar balls.
I want to go back and see if checkinstall can be used to generate RPMs
for those packages. If possible I would then use those rpms to install
the packages on other systems.
I always wondered why they changed the install locations of various
packages.
