I would like to recommend that you join Fedora Extras and submit your
packages there.

Fedora Extras provides a QA process to help ensure that what the user
installs is packaged professionally, actually works, and is made
available on as many platforms as possible.

I actually would appreciate that very much - I sat down today to rebuild
my rpm's for TiLP in rawhide (using the stable release versions).

I do not like to add lots of little repos, that's how problems happen.

The three libraries build just fine, but TiLP does not (with gcc4 or
gcc32) - hence my reading of the list looking to see if a patch has been
submitted yet. Does build fine in fc3 though.

I'm just a casual TiLP user - about once a month or so I backup my Ti86
just so I don't have to reload Tetris and a few other things should it
go south on me. So if a dedicated user was to submit and maintain
packages, it would be better.

They probably will not want the TiEmu since they are very gunshy of
anything that requires a ROM to operate, but the libraries and tilp
would likely be very welcome there.

Please do not use --disable-nls when building rpm's for public use. They
are important to some people. Use the %find_lang macro to specify the
locale files - those who don't want them can specify to rpm to only
install the locale files they need.

Here is an example:

Name:           libtifiles
Version:        0.6.3
Release:        0.1
Summary:        TI Calculator support files
