Ok, I got it working, or at least I think I have (I don't speak Spanish
so it's kinda hard to tell!). For the lack of /usr/sbin/addgroup I wrote
a small patch that will try /usr/sbin/groupadd if addgroup is missing,
if groupadd is missing as well it will print out a warning. I attached
the patch to this message as the only other place I could think to send
it is the patches section of the sourceforge project (though I'm not
sure if anyone looks at that)

The second problem is that both for the installation of ntpv and
ntpv_backoffice the postinstall script is run too early, before all the
files have been added to the /etc/ntpv and /etc/ntpv_backoffice
directories, and as a result many of the files don't belong to the ntpv
group. I don't know enough about qmake to know why this is happening but
as a work around one merely need run the ntpv{,bo}/postinst scripts
after the install (typing make install a second time).


The only other problem I get is a message
"
QSqlDatabase: QPSQL7 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
"
popping up on the console though this is likely the result of not having
the fedora equivalent of the libqt3c102-mt-psql libraries installed.

thanks,
Aaron
