+- spec file changes so daps builds for SLE 11 / 11.1:
+  * checkbot is a recommendation for SLE
+  * require python-xml for < 1120
+  * replace make_install macro with a literal make install call,
+    since 11.1/SLE 11 do not have the macro
+- use the tar option --transform instead of --xform in order to be
+  compatible with older tar versions
+- Bugfix Makefile: global option -d has been replaced with --debug
