That would be my job to do for the RPM's, right? :-) I'm already keeping
them up -- and I know how to use CVS to do it, having commit access on a
couple of other projects.

Let me just say on thing about 'our' RPMs -- they are intended as a
semi-standard base from which OS distributors may make their own packages,
for which they are responsible. A side benefit is that people can grab the
latest hopefully-generic RPMset from us if their OS vendor isn't forthcoming
with updated packages.
