WTF

whenever you do "make install" on a destinaton machine you are doing it
wrong - without any exceptions!

* you don't need compilers/devel-packages on the target
* you should not install comoilers at all on the target
* you can easily downgrade and upgrade
* you get proper dependency checks

"the advice to build a package is bad" is one of the dumbest things i
heard for a long time

there is no law that a package needs to spit any file into /usr/bin at all

when it comes to dependencies and a random idiot removes a system
package which seems not to be required by anything your holy binary in
$HOME is broken

won't happen with a self built package and technically tehre is not much
difference in writing a random script or a spec file besides that error
in context of rpmbuild become visible
