It would. There is a message of Mattias, on the thread about
LIB_POSTFIX, which mentions how to create rpms using CPack, so this
would be a good place to start.

Will you have to install the various distros?  I'd guess that that the
main rpm based Distro's would be RedHat, Fedora and Mandriva. Do you
have any these right now?

The first step would be to get rpm's built for the upcoming 2.7.9 on
your present platform then get others to test these out.

That's the attitude!  We would get much done if we were only ever
tackle things we knew 100% about.
