WEll I Never!! 
I have started downloading the very latest upgrades and will as AFAIK need to 
install a Calder version so as I can process all these files to i386 rpms. 
There will inevitably be tarballs to process, so i am searching at the same 
time for a prog that I know exists fro processing the directly to rpms. Its 
like checkinstall but one does not need to have it attended to.

BTW I have no idea what to call it as there will be input from this list, so i 
should ask the members what they think. I also think that it should reflect 
the list itself as I am going to put it online with the SxS when its done.

I also think that i should take this thread to the General list, what do 
others think ? Are many of you subbed there ?

Updates will not be too bad as I do have time and am sure other would 
contribute so long as I kept the important updates UP. I would be doing them 
for myself anyway.

Feed back please.
