I'm building a set of binaries on top of Yoper and have been wondering about
distrubiting them.  They (probably) will work (and I'd like to find out for
sure if there are any volunteers) on recent releases of rpm systems (Fedora
C3, Mandrake 10.x, maybe even Suse 9.2.  I'd like are suggestions as far as
where these can be posted.  I just don't have the bandwidth here.

The packages are pretty unremarkable,  but here are the details:

- rpm installation of plib, SimGear, FlightGear, fgrun, with dependency 
checking.
- i686, stripped.
- very small patch to fgrun so that first excution is from the desktop menu
system and the default aircraft and airport are already selected.

Menu placement has been a bit of hitch (as always).  This system is kde and
there are variations in configuration even (especially) between distros using
the same version of kde.  So far I've included two category paths
Edutainment/Miscellaneous and (gasp!) Games/Arcade.  I will add any other
categories to the desktop file for folks running default menu configurations
on their distros that offer better placement.

Best,

Jim
