[CCing lists too.] Hi Nicholas, Thank you to you, Jerome and RTS for this work! The rtsadmin-frozen rpm from 04-May-2011 installed ok but didn't seem to work quite right, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm working on rpm packages with proper dependencies for Fedora rawhide, hopefully they'll be ready within a few days and I can make binary+src rpms available.
