[snip]I'd like to announce auto2rpm 1.2. auto2rpm is a tool for converting source tarballs using the autotools (autoconf, automake and libtool) into rpms.
It's similar to the mzbuild tool in Mezzanine [http://www.kainx.org/mezzanine/] by Michael Jennings.
Have you ever taken a look at mezzanine?
I have now. Its author told me about it too.

auto2rpm is focussed purely on converting autotools-based source tarballs into rpms. The original idea is that it would be cpan2rpm for autotools-based packages.
Mezzanine seems much more like a complete build system. specgen from mezzanine does a similar job to auto2tools, but copes with more types of packages: autotools, make, imake and Perl.
As I said to mezzanine's author, I will probably continue developing auto2rpm, because I like small, tightly-focussed utilities.
