Build scripts need attention

[davidbannon]

David, you were half way through moving from individual deb/rpm scripts. the script package-lib needs work, in particular -

It does not correctly make the rpm package because the final part of version number is not being inserted into the spc file, we end up with a spec file containing "INSERT_EXTRAVER" and "INSERT_FULL_VER".

The rpm-package script, on the other hand, does not make a correct devel rpm file, it leaves the dev symlink with a stupid long path prepended to the target file name. package-lib does this properly !

This sure is a "can do better" !

Yes, using the individual script, rpm_package, the devel.rpm contains a symlink that is plainly wrong. Fixed and used to make 1.2.14 in release but I have not committed the fixed script yet. Need to workout whats going on with package-lib first. The package-lib script is, ultimately, the one to use and might have other content not present in the two individual ones. Further work needed....

OK, package-lib now seems to work as expected. Further, it now accepts a whatsnew file to populate the changelog (much like I do in tomboy-ng).
I'll wait until I have done some tests before closing this issue.
