Hi Dischi, In preparation for the 1.4 release of freevo, I'm slowly filling in the missing pieces for RPM support.
I've included a mmpython spec file which can be used to generate a RPM package for the 0.1 version of mmpython. I think it should work with any future release with just a change of the version number if you maintain the current file naming convention. It installs into the site-packages tree for the distro's python. I have the i386.rpm and src.rpm as well, but those are huge (250K, 140K) so I won't post them. I can mail them directly to you if you're interested. The only question is whether to host the mmpython RPM packages under the freevo download page or on the mmpython download page. It's a lot easier to work with python's setup utility. The only thing is that it automatically generates *.pyc files, not sure if there's a way to disable or control the type of compilation setup performs. I'm going to look into revising the freevo 1.4 spec file once the installation process is worked out: are we still going to have any supplied dependency packages (freevo-apps or equivalent?) I assume that now, we build, (package), install, then configure? So configuration is done by the user or the package manager upon installation?
