Almost forgot that it Eric> existed.... (No offense.) Yeah, last release June 2004. Old indeed. I'm sure that RPMs go over real well with the Debian crowd too. As a Slackware user myself, I don't expect you to provide Slackware packages. I would expect the source tar balls to be fairly straightforward to build, with perhaps some dependency information in the README or in the autoconf messages. You may wish to look at http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ if you ever were to start creating other distribution's packages for XConq. It can make RPMs too, for that matter. -- Mark A.
