WEll I Never!! I have started downloading the very latest upgrades and will as AFAIK need to install a Calder version so as I can process all these files to i386 rpms. There will inevitably be tarballs to process, so i am searching at the same time for a prog that I know exists fro processing the directly to rpms. Its like checkinstall but one does not need to have it attended to. BTW I have no idea what to call it as there will be input from this list, so i should ask the members what they think. I also think that it should reflect the list itself as I am going to put it online with the SxS when its done. I also think that i should take this thread to the General list, what do others think ? Are many of you subbed there ? Updates will not be too bad as I do have time and am sure other would contribute so long as I kept the important updates UP. I would be doing them for myself anyway.
