As you may know, I've been building binary RPMs of GNUstep for some time - first on Red Hat 8.0 and (since a change of distro) for SuSE 9.1 and then SuSE 9.3. These are available at: <URL:http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/gnustep-1.13/SuSE_9.3/> In response to a recent enquiry from Olivier Kaloudoff, who would like to build GNUstep RPMs for Centos 4.x on a x86_64 host, I've agreed to provide the spec files etc - these are at: <URL:http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/gnustep-1.13/SuSE_9.3-build/> I haven't yet read the articles referred to in your mail (will do so when I go online to send this), but would be delighted either to participate or to make available the materials I already have. I feel that one of the main obstacles to the adoption of GNUstep software by users (as distinct from developers) is its lack of availability, other than by the build-from-source route, and would be keen to help counter this. -- Richard Stonehouse _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
