I have never created a rpm-package before. Andy, you have
already created at least one rpm-package. Are .spec files organized
as the Debian ones or are there any differences?

I've created a "tools" -package. Now we have to wait until CVS is
sync by a cron-process. Then I can add the dists/debian -directory.
Brian: You can register yourself at SourceForge in the meantime and
let me know your loginname. Then I can add you to the ggi-members at
SF. This will give you write access to CVS immediately.
