Not to me ;-{ 

Could someone (Paul?) please clarify who is supposed to be using
what?  I confess to active avoidance of all things GUI, so I may not
be clear on the purpose of these RPM's in association with YELP and all
that.  Does it do the XML rendering on the fly, or something?  If
not, why put XML in the RPM's at all?

I don't think we want any author to be mucking about with the RPM's
and tarball's: authors should use CVS, period.  What I'm looking for
is an explanation from the _end_ _user's_ point of view of how the
RPM's will be used.

Cheers
