which, unfortunately, is /still/ pending a review (and sponsorship)[1].
However, you may use the source rpm in the BZ[2] and rebuild it.
So, I think I will build the binaries the way I did it for 'wordnet'
after help from this list.
Sorry, I assumed that you've built rpms from source rpms before. There
really is nothing to it. Just execute:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild <the source rpm>
This should build the binary rpm. In fact if it fails for any reason,
that's a bug and you should report it (either in the BZ, or just mail
me).
I could try and package it for you, but in case you are really interested in
getting that package and you are inclined, I'd recommend having a go at
creating and submitting the rpm yourself ! After all FOSS is all about
scratching your own itch.
You know scratching _own_ itch gives one a pleasure which is never
ever there if someone else does it. But the problem is, lack of
confidence about doing anything at that layer is always there for
someone like me absolutely from outside the world of developing. Ok,
anyway, thanks for the suggestion, dear Steve. First I will read some
howto on building RPM-s.
I totally understand, and that's why i qualified with -- '...and you
are inclined,". If you do decide to try your hand at it, this should
get you going ...
