Re: [SoX-users] rpm install?

[Chris B. <ch...@cn...>]

Right now is a really bad time to try and use the Fedora development 
tree RPM of SoX.  It would require you to upgrade to almost all of what 
will be Fedora 9; which I'm sure your not wanting to do.

Also, the version is currently only 14.0.0 so its still not the latest 
version.

I just don't think there is much options out there right now for 
upgrading to SoX 14.0.1 and using RPM's.
