I have been the one to do RPM binary packages in the past, and I am working on 
building new packages for 1.6.5.  I have, however, run into one 
complication - Fedora 7 seems to be using the SCSI driver for IDE disks now, 
which only supports 15 partitions, so it fails with an error when I attempt 
to install it on the drive I use for RPM builds (which has 18).  Therefore I 
can't get Fedora 7 to install, so I can't build the RPM.  However, I'd be 
more than willing to provide the .spec file that should be useful to anyone 
who has a clean FC7 system to use for a build.  I did have one person offer 
to build a FC7 RPM of BibleMemorizer for me, so I can e-mail him to ask about 
building this BibleTime package.

For the rest of the distros, I'm in the process of upgrading to SuSE 10.3, 
RHEL5 (actually CentOS), and Mandriva 2008.0 (bumping out the oldest 
distros.)  Then I'll go ahead and build the packages and upload them.
