I'm sure we all hope he's ok - and that, if he's intending to continue 
with ATrpms, his user base doesn't evaporate before he gets back :-)
The ATrpms site is a wonderful resource.

I have been trying to build 0.25.2 on sl6 32-bit using Axel's specfile 
as a starting point.  All seems to go well until what is, I think, the 
final stage, when it finds two files listed twice and a group of 
libmyth* files that are 'installed but unpackaged'.  Then it deletes 
everything that has been built.  It takes around an hour.

I had a similar problem building smart, but in that specfile there was a 
section apparently intended to avoid this;  not sure why it's needed, 
but I haven't seen anything comparable in the myth specfile.

I tried the build without omitting some sections that probably don't 
apply now - mainly the logrotation scripts, and without any gitupdates 
to add to the 0.25.2 downloads.  Still don't know how to make those.
