Suggestion:
- Upload those packages on the Xforms ftp site and make them available
in
a RPM directory under ftp://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/linux/elf/
(or better: under ftp://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/linux/elf/,
create 2 subdirectories: glibc and libc5, and put the rpm stuff under
glibc)
- Keep providing 'official' RPM packages for subsequent versions of
xforms.
I spent several hours yesterdays trying to build packages like
those that you list... :(
RedHat is providing an xforms package, but it is incorrectly compiled
(with libc5) and does not work well on their glibc systems
(file selector not working). So rather than
this (bad) situation, why not make clean and correct 'official' RPMs
for xforms ?
