Actually, I've been wanting the same thing that Tomas has asked for -
the ability to run configure once then run "make" for testing followed
by "make rpm-package" to finally create an RPM, but have the RPM created
based upon the same configuration options that were originally passed to
configure without having to manually edit the wireshark.spec.in file.
So, I don't know if this "goes against how RPM is intended to be used"
or not, but I wrote a script to handle this, which seems to work well
enough for me. Maybe others will find it useful too. I tested it on a
Fedora Core 6 machine.
So, with the new script, the rpm build process becomes:
./autogen.sh
./configure.sh '<parameters>'
make rpm-package
