and try koji to build packages
Thanks. However, there is no bug with recoll nor with the rpmbuild
program. As I stated I can build the recoll package for CentOS 6 from
the Fedora package. I am simply asking that the Fedora package be
rebuilt for CentOS 6/ RHEL 6 and included in the EPEL repository.
