I just built a mandrake rpm. Though I suspect it will build on any rpm distro. I had some troubles with your breaking the naming conventions and there allready was a par-rpm so I named the package parity, and the tarball is called parity-1.0.tar.bz2 and the resulting directory is parity-1.0/ . I hope you don't mind.
Two questions:
- What naming conventions ?
- What's par-rpm ?
Oh, and you might want to know that the CVS version has developed a lot further, but there's some issues with the OS-X build (which someone else is doing) so I won't do a new release until that's fixed.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Oh that namingconvention. Not as much a convention as an 'everybody does it that way'. At least, I've never seen it mentioned anywhere, to be frank.
I think you'll find it's Programname-serial#.tar.ball unzips to Programname-serial#/ in a lot of cases. It's an automake/autoconf thing.
I don't run redhat, and I don't think I can be expected to keep up with every little package that happens to come out. I admit I haven't specifically searched for packages called 'par'.
I have searched for it now, though. It seems to be a paragraph reformatter.
So I guess parity will have to do as a name.
If you want, I can throw together a tarball of the current CVS tree. It seems to work in OS/X, and it's been stable for at least three days now.

Namingconvention:
Programname-serial#.tar.ball unzips to directory: Programname/
Trust me nearly everybody does it, except if they have a _very_ good reason.
What par-rpm? You got a short term memory-problem.
Intersting. But I will only incorparate released versions. Btw maintaining the srpm is braindead easy.
