well actually dag is building matts stuff too so its all in one repository.
hes building some of my newrpms.sunsite.dk stuff too

i will most probably need 2 days and a week until i can up newrpms for fc4.
sorry to all for the delay but actually i am just plain to busy at the
moment with other things.

gonna try to complete it as soon as possible for fc4 x86_64 and i386

to get more info about the current status id recommend to use the
freshrpms mailinglist or #rrpmforge on freenode.

Hope that helped,
Rudolf Kastl
