ngspice 24

[Howard Howell]

Hi, guys,
    ngspice 24 has been released.  I saw that in one of Chitlesh's posts.
Will it be packaged as an RPM for F17 or F18?  I am asking because I saw
some discussion of the ADMS code going to another license, which may
impact its release for later versions of FEL.
