Description

for ease of packaging, a DESTDIR is nice.

$> DESTDIR=/tmp/foo rake install

Hum, instead of patching the rakefile you could rather use the way that was intended for packaging: rake install destdir=/tmp/foo rake install

Anyway, I will just add it since it is probably easier for people familiar with just make, thanks.

Btw: For which dist are you packaging subtle? Is it already on the install wiki page?

For Slackware Linux, currently in my personal package repo (https://github.com/vbatts/SlackBuilds), but once the new Slackware release 13.37 is out, then it will get published to http://slackbuilds.org/

Ah, if you don't mind, can you add install instructions for slackware here: install I don't have a clue how to use slackware at all. ;)
