Let me put on my distro packager hat for a minute:

People who are Sword users on Fedora - I'm currently building an
update to Sword that will land in Rawhide. This moves the build
process over from autotools to CMake. As part of this, the Rawhide
package will also include building the Sword Python bindings (there
are still some outstanding issues with getting Perl to reliably
install). You can get at this with a "yum install sword-python"

As another update I have split the contents of the utilities binaries
into their own package. You can get at this with a "yum install
sword-utilities". I have done this in order to help emphasize that we
do not expect users to leverage the utilities from version releases
but instead expect them to use the versions out of SVN HEAD directly.

If anyone out there is a Fedora Rawhide user and is interested in
fetching the results, they should be composed into the Rawhide
repositories at the next update of your local mirror.
