Hello Kev. I was the previous maintainer, but gave up for various
reasons; including time constraints, and the fact that Tripwire is a bit
archaic and out of sync with modern Linux security methods.

There has been a new upstream build (2.4.0.1) available since December
last year:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tripwire/tripwire-2.4.0.1-src.tar.bz2?download
And a patch to enable building against gcc4:

I've also rebuilt the RPMs here:

http://slated.org/files/tripwire-2.4.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Note, this is *not* a package submission, and I am *not* looking to
resume maintainer-ship:

To be honest, it's a big debatable how useful Tripwire is on a modern
Linux system (SELinux et al), especially since it doesn't tie in with
RPM, and you can probably achieve the same result with just "rpm -Vva"
... but good luck anyway.
