Hi David, thanks for your help with the specfile... I didn't mean to
imply you were "dropping the ball", just assumed you were too busy to
integrate and test the patch so I was seeing if another dev could handle
it. I didn't realize before that the OS-specific package files were kept
in the official SVN repo or I would have sent my patch to the list
instead (although it looks like Nico's is better anyway). I'll be glad
to help with testing in any way I can.
Also FWIW, I don't know if you received or remember my last email, but
the free-as-in-beer VmWare Server is capable of running 64-bit virtual
OSes, even on a 32-bit host OS, as long as your CPU is actually 64 bit.
I'm running 64-bit CentOS 4 under WinXP 32-bit and it works great for
testing specfiles on multiple OSes!
