I quote; URL: http://kmess.org/installing/ <snip> Building a KMess package The rpmbuild command is suitable for distibutions using the RPM package format. This includes distributions like SuSE, Mandriva, Redhat and Fedora. A KMess RPM package can be created with the command: rpmbuild -tb kmess-<version>.tar.gz The rpmbuild command runs a full source-based installation, but builds a package instead of installing KMess. The final package can be found in a subfolder of /usr/src/packages/ or /usr/src/rpm/. You can use that package to install KMess. If you have a clean, newly-installed system, without any KDE upgrades, you can share the package with others. Make sure users can always download the source package too, as required by the GPL license. However, we recommend to use our KMess Installer whenever possible. Tip: when you install the autopackage-devel tools before building the RPM package, the rpm spec script uses apbuild to create a cleaner binary. /end quote; Good luck! :) > Regards, > Diego > > P.S.: thanks for you work KDE-Sig: KDE in Fedora is progressing day by day! -- Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Eelko Berkenpies
