Hi Matt, if you've the .spec file for the new ROOT 2.25 (CVS based) version I am more than happy to include that in the official distribution. I've created root/build/package/rpm/ already for that purpose in the repository. Could you and Steve maybe compare each others .spec files and mail me one on which you both agree (as rpm experts). Once the I can build the rpms we'll provide RPMS for each new release. Cheers, Fons. "Matthew D. Langston" wrote: > > Hi Fons and Steve, > > You may want to use my .spec file to build ROOT RPMS.
