[osiris-devel] Easier RPM Conversion

[David M. Fetter]

Damn!  When I try to turn osiris into an rpm on linux it seg faults
because its trying to copy the init scripts into /etc/init.d but it
can't (and shouldn't really).  Just thought I'd let you know.  Don't
know if anybody else posted concerning such a problem or not.
