Actually I didn't realize the spec files shipped like that.  The one I
am using is peripheral to the tarball and I got(stole) from Jan Blunck's
build-service package.

/me goes to check the tarball

I do not seem to have a spec file in my lttv tarball (I didn't check
ltt-control).  FWIW, the change I needed on both packages was:

s/%makeinstall/make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

I can send the whole .spec, if you like.

Ok, I will try to put something together.

Yep, that works too. I am already subscribed.
