Oops, it seems I forgot to do "reply-all." In case others are following, errr here it is: Thanks for the timely reply. What are the necessary steps to have the package validated or otherwise trusted? It would be a waste if Peter Littmann really have done the community a favor by going through the trouble of setting up the Fedora 10 box to create a package that at least some people have been dieing to find. I also understand the necessity to make sure the port is in fact genuine lest introduce a significant security concern. So what needs be done for the community to help validate the package?
