[TriLUG] RPM and SRPM package updates for Aurora 1.0 and Red Hat 9

[Jeremy Portzer]

Hi Chris,

I'd highly recommend you check out the Fedora Project at
http://www.fedora.us/

They have similar goals -- producing updated packages for Red Hat Linux
that Red Hat can't or won't include.  Fedora has a good infrastructure
for Q.A. and very nice guidelines for ensuring all Fedora packges look
similar and play nicely with each other.  If you're interested in
publishing RPMs for "random" software that you're not a developer of, it
would be a good idea to contribute it to a project like Fedora, so that
some additional trust can be inserted into the equation.  

Actually, though, GnuPG 1.2.2 is already included in the Severn beta for
Red Hat Linux 10 -- see
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gnupg-1.2.2-3.i386.rpm

So it's probably a better idea to use that package, or rebuild it from
SRPM if the binary package doesn't work, since it's officially from Red
Hat, Inc.  Remember, always check the latest version (or Rawhide) before
duplicating effort!
