I *knew* I'd get flamed by Melchior!

I don't detest FG, it's a fine bit of work. True, the word "game" was a
bit too harsh.

Anyone want an RPM packaging (for Fedora Core 2) for 0.9.8? I noticed
that the previous attempt at RPMing hadn't been updated since 0.9.4.

So I did my own. Also I packaged up scenery for "Great Britain &
Ireland", "The Faroe Islands" and "France" as separate entities. The
idea is to get the RPMs put on a YUM archive (or APT) so that newbies
can just say "yum install FlightGear-Terrain-FR" and they'd get all that
they needed for flying (in this case in France). The scenery RPMs would
load the basic FlightGear program and base-files automatically if you
didn't already have them (RPMs can auto-require other ones).

I was planning on doing Benelux and Spain next, but if other people
wanted to join in, they're welcome to my SRPMs to use as a basis for
their own lands.

It may not be much, but I do *try* to contribute!
Steve.
