| - llvm needs to be found and used if installed in /usr, /usr/local or configurable prefix. | |
| (for example, if installed using packages, llvm binaries will be in /usr/bin and headers in /usr/include) | |
| this is valid for all external libraries. | |
| - make install needs to support DESTDIR. If prefix is set to /opt/rubinius at configure/build time, and make install is called with DESTDIR=/some/root, it should end installed in /some/root/opt/rubinius, this is used by packaging tools to find out which files belong to the package | |
| - snapshots needs to be tagged with a sequencial release number. Even better if foo-x.x.tar.bz2 tarballs are offered from such milestones. That makes easier to build packages (no need to update a git checkout, and makes the package upgradeable) | |
| - need to honor CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS passed from the environment. Distribution pass some standard platform compile flags. |
