I was thinking about doing one some time ago. It wouldn't be that complicated, but it would get real ugly in a hurry. First, JDE depends on semantic, speedbar, eieio, and a few other things. So either you package those in the same RPM or you have the JDE RPM require RPMs for those versions. It can be done and I will do it if the list shows sufficient interest. However, Paul doesn't have access to a Linux machine (last I heard) and I doubt he'd want to distribute in something other than source form. I'm inclined to agree with him, though it would be nice if JDE could check the RPM database for required versions and such. And for apt, too, if we want to get fancy. So if this would be of help to others and new users, I'll cook something up. --Ben
