You can run 'python setup.py bdist_rpm' in gmetad-python directory to build RPM package.Currently it fails and I can't figure out why ;( I need to read up on Python RPM > packaging. > I'm not sure if RPM should be a definite choice for gmetad-python, because of lack of portability between platforms.Maybe we should consider using easy_install[1] which is compatible with distutils (ie. with setup.py script) and allows to build 'eggs' (packages) that could be easily installed (even automatically via internet using easy_install script).BTW you can read about distutils here[2] (you've probably already know that ;)
