Hmm, RHEL/CentOS don't really do i586, they use i386 instead...

That would be great! I'll keep an eye on these builds when they come out.

It's the first in the list on
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories :) There is a
new ongoing effort to get more packagers to work together. This
project runs under http://rpmforge.net.

No problem. I just hope it'll be easier to get barry on RHEL/CentOS
without rebuilding. It's not a problem for me, but possibly for
others. Of course it would be even better to get barry into the Fedora
Extras+EPEL. That way it's available out of the box for any Red Hat
(or derived distribution) user.

Cheers,
Niels
