Thanks! /me visits http://apt.bea.ki.se/biorpms/ /me notices that the names of all these packages do not follow the fedora naming guidelines. Humpf. Moreover, there's also a comment about a stuck dependency I focus on building for Fedora Core 1. Some packages are available for RH8.0 and RH9 as well. Requires freshrpms.net, ATrpms, and Dag repositories. As I depend heavily on these repositories, I will not build for Fedora Core 2 until they do. This is /precisely/ the kind of blockage I want to help resolve! Since you just saw my self-intro, you know that I am new to the inside of the sausage factory that is Fedora, though I am not new to Open Source (I started writing the GNU C++ compiler in 1987). If you have any advice on where I should start my campaign--either with Dag Wieers and other foundational sites, the biorpm folks, the mailing list, or whatever--I'd appreciate it. I'd certainly prefer to make my initial application of energy a positive, rather than a negative, experience for all. Thanks!
