Thanks! with this info i might dare to venture into giving back something to community.. :)[snip]I'm glad it was easy! If you decide you like building your own packages I would check out mock[1]. It is a fancy python script which will build the package in a chroot environment. It makes sure (among other things) that you have the correct BuildRequires: in the spec file by installing only those packages in the spec file into the chroot environment. It downloads and installs all the -devel packages which can take a while the first time but they are cached for future builds. Also, checkout rpmlint[2]. It checks the resultant RPMs for typical issues and errors. Both are required for formal acceptance of a package into the Fedora repos.
