A new version of 
    http://www.seanet.com/~bradbell/cppad/cppad.spec
has been uploaded. The corresponding rpm source file is
http://www.seanet.com/~bradbell/cppad/cppad-20071221-1.fc7.src.rpm

I am working on how to best solve this problem (see comment number 7 for more
details).

The Introduction and Speed options have been added to the %configure and %check
sections of cppad.spec.

The PrintFor option builds a test that is not automated (the users actually
looks at the output).

The stdvector option replaces the template vector class that has the most
extensive testing. The standard vector template class is just one of three
choices (and the default is being used by the current spec file).

This has been fixed in the corresponding upstream makefile.am by using the cp -a
command (this made it necessary to increase the version number of cppad).

Done.

Done.

> + umask 022
> + cd /home/tasaka1/rpmbuild/BUILD
> + cd cppad-20071208
> .......
> cp -r ./doc/*
> 

This has also been fixed in the upstream makefile.am file by copying the
directory instead of files; i.e.
   cp -r ./doc/* 
should now be
   cp -a ./doc
This error did not occur on my test system, so please see if the fix works for you.

Fixed.
