It should be enough to provide a single text file named "rosegarden.spec", 
like the one that is already in the SVN repository, to be used as an  
example/template by the RPM packagers. Mandriva 2006 had a Rosegarden package 
already, but it was old and compiled without DSSI support. I had to build  
myself the RPM packages with DSSI and DSSI synths for Mandriva, and convince 
them to include these packages in the distribution, and finally build a  
Rosegarden-1.2.4 DSSI enabled for Mandriva 2007. So far so good. 

I've discovered later that they included also Rosegarden4-1.2.3 in Mandriva 
2007. Why? Maybe there are some customer prefering a release with more bugs 
and less features? I don't know.
