Here, here! :-) This is a minor detail but I'd like to point out that the Fedora Core/Extras distinction ends with a merger when F7 is released. If anyone is interested in helping out with (or even just curious about) the Fedora packaging process then please see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers which includes a SIG for Scientific and Technical packaging: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech Help [in the form of new packagers, new packages, package reviews, bug reports, etc...] is always welcome. Even as the list of Fedora packages grows it is still remarkably small compared to the universe of freely re-distributable (and thus eligible) software. Ed -- Edward H.
