Dear Lars:

> Isn't check-rpms -v the recommended way to check your RPMs?

Yes and no.

Yes.  "check-rpms" is the thing to use.
No.  Use CHECKRPMS and CHECKRPMS automatically calls "check-rpms".

For the tarballs at install.lon-capa.org, the user is expected to:
tar xzvf loncapa-SOMEVERSION.tar.gz

And then use the commands:
./UPDATE
./TEST
./CHECKRPMS

Each of the three commands above directly refers to loncom/build/* commands.

./UPDATE ----> cd loncom/build; make build; make install;
./TEST   ----> cd loncom/build; make test
./CHECKRPMS -> cd loncom/build; ./check-rpms FTPDOWNLOADSITE -ftp

Regards,
Scott
