Re: hamradio packages for SUSE Linux 10.1

Hello Curt,
if you have a xastir.spec file for 10.0, please just send it to me, and I will 
compile the package and integrate it into the repository.
But you will need to be a little bit patient, because the next 4 days I'm on 
holidays...

P.S.: I will drop a notice on the suse-ham-e list when new packages are ready 
for download....
