I accept your challenge.  If I can get a bit of help from the list.  I
have the RedHat Maximum RMP manual plus all the normal man etc.  If
there is a particularly good site for learning (tutorials?) how to make
rpm's that information would be helpful.

Yea, if I can get others to risk trying it.

Would the Yelp 2.9.whatever be the easiest.  It should already have all
the parts in place??  Doesn't the Xemacs bug thing need a fix and
recompilation first?
