Packaging : was Re: [sword-devel] 1.5.3 progress

[Daniel Glassey]

With 1.5.3 being imminent it would be great if people could volunteer to make 
binary packages (and source rpms) once the source release is ready. Or 
alternatively test it on obscure architectures/OS's.

It will be especially be a lot easier for users when they install the GUIs bibletime 
and gnomesword to have everything packaged.

I don't know how different Linux distros do their numbering versions. If major 
versions are binary compatible with each other (same glibc and zlib afaict) we can 
strip this list down.

Any other popular OS's or Linux distros that it could be built for?

Please reply to the list (and add yourself to the definitive list at 
http://sword.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/SwordPackagers if you 
like ) with any volunteering or suggestions.

Here's what I can think of so far:
