Having just converted our projects from subversion to\ngit I am reluctant to beat my brains out trying to maintain yet another\nmoving target that is, in the end, only a support tool. The most recent\nGiT source builds without complaint on my development system so the\ndependencies are purely build environment artifacts and are not\nsubstantive. This change to the rpm build platform is unfortunate for me\nsince I now lose a very convenient update process and have to choose\nbetween rebuilding at each release or stabilizing at 1.5.6.1.\n\nNonetheless, I will no doubt live through this... Sigh.\n\n\n-- \n*** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel ***\nJames B.
