CentOS - Apr 2007 - Sylpheed-Claws aka Claws-Mail

Question!

I took the spec from Claws-Mail (formerly called Sylpheed-Claws) of
FC6 and updated it from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 (correctly I believe). I
created the rpms from the build and I suppose I will sign them and put
them up on kuei-jin.org. My question is, should I give them to someone
to see if what I did is correct? QA?? I didn't edit any source or
anything. I know that it works because I installed it on my machine
and it's fetching mail right now.

I had to rebuild libetpan as well. That spec file was really simple
and didn't require me to change anything other than the version
number. I left everything else the same. I have srpms and debugintfo
and devel packages that can be retrieved from my website if anyone
wants to look at it. In hind sight, I may not have needed to rebuild
lietpan but I did for the sake of completeness.

I like sylpheed, there was no other pressing reason for me to bother
with making the packages though.

Sincerely,

Alex White

Excellent. One of the things that we tried to do with centos4 was to
not duplicate packages which were also in the RPMForge, or
centos.karan.org repositories. Not to turn you away, but  the rpmforge
repository has this package built already. It does not appear to be
built for el5 though. Perhaps you could provide a patch to the
rpmforge folks so that this package would build correctly within their
repository?

The more people that contribute to things like RPMForge the stronger
it will become. And since RPMForge and centos work very closely,
you're helping us out as well.
