Hi,
I'm running FC3. I have a couple of programs that are not available as rpms that I had to install from source. I was just wondering if there is a way to register them so that, for example, rpm -q myprogram would give correct results. Does anyone has experience with that?
Thanks,

Personally, the only way I knew of was to build your own RPM. As none of the repositories seem to want to bother with Thunderbird 0.9 I gave up and built my own using the instructions @ http://fedoranews.org/tchung/thunderbird/

I plan on using said instructions as a base for building my own RPMs for other software in the future.

It was surprisingly easy.
