Ed,

Thanks for your response.  That was a good idea, but I did not get very
far :

[root at HmGe f21]# rpm -Uhvf aeskulap-0.2.2-0.19beta1.fc21.x86_64.rpm

I have tried to contact the maintainer of f21 aeskulap, 
sanjay.ankur at gmail.com, to see if I could persuade him to maintain the
package for f22, but I he has not responded yet.

This was really an excellent product even though the developer has not
added to it since 2007.

If anyone else has ideas I would appreciate suggestions.
