Hi Stefan and all! Sorry for my delay now. I was on short vacations around the Christmas and New Year, thanks for wishes

Is there any more information I should add regarding how to build > with this spec file or is it common knowledge among Red Hatters?? I think that it will be OK to put a specfile on the webpage. It can be even included inside the source tarball. Once we have a good specfile, making a package is a simple job: place tarball and specfile into the directories where rpm expects them and invoke a command rpm -bb specfile or rpm -tb tarball if the specfile is included in the tarball. I think that it suficiently described in HOWTO-s and mans so there is no need to explain it in more than one sentence. More problem is to collect all necessary development packages if someone is doing this for a first time, so many Linux users search for ready packages. Maybe store rpms for some popular distributions on geda server? I checked that the directory scheme should be compatible with the most of current releases that use rpm (some old releases as RedHat up to 6.2 stored doc and man files in /usr/doc and /usr/man). W.
