I prefer downstream distributions to build packages and for users to
install those. The maintenance burden on me is significantly less, and the
user gets a toolchain that's normally been vetted by somebody else as at
least basically functional. The days when it was appropriate and necessary
for every user to be competent at building every package they depend on
are, thankfully, past. I've done X11 and TeX; I'm more than happy to leave
Gnome and OpenOffice to somebody else.

Thanks, Rob. If there's a possibility of building the RPMs for Fedora 17
and publishing them (or even just the specs files) somewhere that might
help with Yama's project.
