Joe,

I've been looking over the SPEC file again, in cvs.  The link's up 
there.  I'm growing a bit less confident that it'll rebuild, however:

> %defattr(-, %{HTTPDUSER}, root)

The first thing that caught my eye is that bit of code about 10 lines 
from the bottom.  On my stock RH9 box, %{HTTPDUSER} isn't defined.

> Patch0: config.patch
> Patch1: backup.patch
> Patch2: check_loop.patch

These files, referenced in the SPEC, are also missing.

I remember asking before, and I think you mentioned that you're using a 
RH9 box for devel.  Any idea just how far from stock your devel box is? 
  That one macro suggests that you're using a system with at least one 
undefined bit in it, and that makes me nervous (even if the bit is trivial).

The patches, too - how do we get them, what's got to occur before they 
can get accepted into the codebase (who do you gotta know, if YOU can't 
merge them?) and will 0.6.1 still need these patches?

Finally, is there any way I can convince you and Rene to drop the use of 
'pre' versioning?  It's a real bit of hacking to work around in 
packaging, and, thanks to epoch: pain, the kind of gift that keeps on 
giving.
