Hello, Everyone :)
I just made RPM's for Sword and Bibletime.  I got the source that I used
to make them by running "make dist" on freshly configured and compiled
copies of the current CVS's of Sword and Bibletime.  I used an
(incompletely) edited spec file from Krename, which I also make RPM's
for.
I would like any of you who are able to test these RPM's to see if they
work for you.  Before I wrote this e-mail, I uninstalled Sword and
Bibletime from my machine and reinstalled them from the RPM's that I had
just made, and everything works perfectly.
A few warnings: if any of you took a look at the spec file, you would
see that there are still some references to Krename.  Obviously, these
will be removed if you say it's okay to make the official Bibletime
RPM's with this spec file.  The other warning is, that the Bibletime RPM
that I made uses the Crystal icons that James made a few weeks ago.  Of
course, I will make any RPM's you want me to make with whatever icons
you want, but I just used those icons, because they are the one's I have
chosen to use on my own system.
Please test these RPM's, and let me know if they are acceptable.  (I
know that you didn't need me to make an RPM of Sword, but I just wanted
to see if I could.)  I did try to figure out how to make RPM's for
Bibletime with the spec file that comes with it, but I couln't figure it
out :(

The location of the Sword RPM's is:

The location of the Bibletime RPM's is:

Thanks again for the opportunity to help out on this project :)
