Last try I did, I had difficulty.  But that was with an older beta.

I was gearing up to do this; I won't be offended if you beat me to it.  
Upgrading to RHL9 on this laptop was a great thing to do, except for the fact 
that the version of BibleTime I was running (more correctly, the version of 
Sword I was running) wouldn't recompile successfully.  But that's been a 
month or more ago when I did that.  So, after seeing the pre-release 
announcement, I began gearing up to do it.

Brook's Mandrake specfile is a good place to start.  Or you can modify the 
specfiles I did for the RHL8.0 RPM's.

Isn't there just one package now?

That being said, I still have access to a RHL8 machine that I can build on, as 
well as an Aurora SPARClinux box.  BibleTime 1.2 ran great on Aurora 0.42; 
we'll see what Aurora 1.0 plus BT 1.3 does.
