[Tgif-announce] RPMs for i386

[Kevin M. <ke...@pl...>]

Since I really liked the tgif application, I have decided to take some
extra time to make RPMs since the author appearantly has not generated
them.  They are located in:

http://www.planetsaphire.com/tgif

I had to do a few things to get rpmbuild to make the rpms:

1. Unpack the tarball in /usr/src;

2. Rename the "tgif-QPL-4.1.44" directory to "tgif-4.1.44"

3. Repack the tarball (making sure I used gzip, not bzip2, to compress
    the new tarball) to /usr/src/tgif-4.1.44.tar.gz

4. While in /usr/src, run "rpmbuild -ta tgif-4.1.44.tar.gz"
    (rpmbuild will take fifteen minutes to complete building tgif)

5. Run rpm --addsign <RPM Package> on every tgif rpm produced for
    verification capability with md5sum.

Finally, the text from the README file I have typed up is shown below.
My host has a misconfiguration that keeps README files from showing up
in the tree.

The contents of this folder are the RPM packages I have generated for
the i386 platform build of tgif, a vector-based drawing program.  I hope
the author of the tgif program will upload these to SourceForge so that
you don't have to come to this web site to get the packages, because I
have to pay extra for more bandwith than what comes in iPowerWeb's web
hosting package that Planet Saphire relies on.

For those who wish to verify the md5 sums in the packages, the md5s to
compare against are:

a24d5131ed3a7c7dab0c6975a6dd7436  tgif-4.1.44-1.src.rpm
e1381bdbe4b48f0e77f4673c496564a8  tgif-4.1.44-1.i386.rpm
d42284483fd2e36ae82a363e9aa3b5df  tgif-debuginfo-4.1.44-1.i386.rpm
