Hi Martin,

Well if this works, I deprecate our use of that RPM script...

Christian Schaller (Uraeus for you gnome irc people) supplied us with a new
RH spec. His instructions: download the required tarballs to
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and put this spec into /usr/share/redhat/SPECS after
editing the SPEC a *bit* (release number, ABI_OPT_OPTIMIZE, correct
dependencies, ...)

cd /usr/share/redhat/SPECS
rpb -ba absuite.spec

Dom
