Hi, Actually, I'm currently working on getting it ready for integration into the mainline distribution. Unfortunately my studies have kept me busy, but I still work on it when I can. RPM is not an easy port, at least from my standpoint I have to do more then just get it to work. If you want to help, let me know. Cheers, Nicholas
