Thanks for that John.
I read MaxRPM once before, so just going over the build part
again. I want to be able to build my own Linux/Centos RPM's,
and then post them on my website. May even make a 3rd party
repo. I obviously know the ./configure, make, make install
and autoconf and automake stuff, so doing RPM's and a repo
should not be that difficult to work out.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
