That would be great. The RedHat folks are swamped with maintaining
*lots* of packages, and I'm sure it would help if we could do the
maintenance of the rpm for them.

Nobody else has stepped forward for that yet, though it has been a need
for a while. You're welcome to it ;)

Perhaps once the rpm build is codified, it would be easier for others to
help. I've got the rpm book, but have not waded through enough to figure
out how to build a from-scratch installation.
