The Krita [1] mailing list is now discussing making a standalone .tgz package of the latest Krita for CentOS 5.x. After this tarball is created is there anyone interested in making and maintaining a CentOS 5.x RPM package from it?

It's an old, rotten, and completely pointless package. Nothing of any interest could be build with it for years now, probably never ever was it of any use to anyone. I replaced it with a rebuild of qt4-4.6.2-20 from el6. This gives me a common and useable base for both el5 and el6. That could be a sensible approach for a krita.el5 package, too. -Michael
