Do you need a different 'product' from the GeoNode build than the current tarball or the upcoming RPM? I'm working with a contractor who knows RPM to bootstrap the RPM package, hopefully it can become community-maintained once it is working in the first place. We'll announce this on the blog within the next week or so (the package is still not "ready for primetime"), but the RPM packages are already available at http://yum.opengeo.org/. I've attached a .repo file you can use to access the repository in yum (in order to avoid requiring many additional repos we are mirroring some EPEL and ELGIS packages as well.) I haven't sorted out how the .spec file will be maintained/versioned yet (probably some arrangement involving git submodules) but I am definitely interested in incorporating bug reports and patches from GeoNode users, especially since the GeoNode sites that I personally maintain are all using Ubuntu (I do develop on a Fedora machine though :) ). Last but not least: congratulations for the GeoNode 1.0 release! > Thanks :) -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/
