It's actually much easier than that. RPMForge is set up to handle "2nd party" RPMs. http://rpmforge.net/user/faq/
>From the CentOS wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge ): RPMForge is a collaboration of Dag, Dries, and other packagers. They provide over 2600 packages for CentOS, including mplayer, xmms-mp3, and other popular media tools. It is not part of RedHat or CentOS but is designed to work with these major distributions. I haven't personally experienced the process of submitting RPMs for inclusion to the RPMForge, but I imagine it's quite reasonable.

Shouldn't it now be possible to publish binary distributions of the toaster packages!?

Even though I believe DJB should have done this a few years ago... Now all we (all qmail users/admins) have to do is to convince distributors to supply a qmail package in their distros... that would be nice... a qmt package in fedora/suse/mandriva/centos would be a nice treat... Am I dreaming? But first all the patches and necessary changes to it must be stable and hussle free... I think we'll have to way and see... but anyway, it's great news... :) -- AM agmsoft(at)gmail.com
