No, depends on your definition of difficult. It's difficult to build
correct binary RPMs until you work out how to trick the RedHat system.
Once you've done that, it's easy :-)

And modified even. Sorry, I missed that.

Spec file is attached. That should allow you to build your own binary
RPMs. Use "rpmbuild -bb --target=xxx powerswitch.spec".

Summary: driver for ATX power switch
Name: powerswitch
Version: 1.5
Release: 1cb
License: freeware
Group: System Environment/Kernel
Vendor: Mitel Networks Corporation
Source0: http://workshy.org/download/powerswitch-1.5.tar.gz
Packager: Charlie Brady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-root
%define modules /lib/modules/%{kversion}-%{krelease}
BuildRequires: kernel-source = %{kversion}-%{krelease}
Requires: kernel = %{kversion}-%{krelease}
%description
The powerswitch driver makes it possible to use the ATX power button
on your computer to shutdown Linux. You simply press the power button,
and the driver shuts down Linux and powers off the machine, just like
the shutdown command does.
