I like to suggest in the future version hobbit, the configure and makefile should be design to generate server,client and proxy binaries into different paths.
Example like following,
/opt/hobbit-server bin doc man etc /opt/hobbit-client bin man doc /opt/hobbit-proxy bin man doc
This will help software packagers to create packages for different OS platforms.
I already separate hobbit and hobbit-client in the RPMS for Mandriva (which I rebuild for RHEL also). The only problem is that you may end up with duplicate binaries (eg bb). What I have done in this case is made hobbit depend on hobbit-client, so I can avoid duplicates.
I'll see if I can get this done in the make file instead of the spec file.
I hope this paths serperation can be done in ./configure script(although not autoconf's ./configure) When "./configure --server" got specified, a makefile should be generated to compile and installed into a relative path for server binary only. the tight to "hobbit" as root (/opt/hobbit,/usr/hobbit) for server package very restrictive, and "./configure --server" also gernating client binaries at same time is confusing.
