Over the last couple of weeks I've been rebuilding all the packages we
previously added (or upgraded) our RH systems ready for SL304 (which I
plan to roll out to our ~300 machines this summer).

Most of the updates we use are superceded by the SL304 versions, but there
are a small number where we have a newer version or where SL304 doesn't
have the package (nor of course does RHEL3).

In case anyone is interested in any of these I can provide srpms (or 
rpms if anyone trusts blindly :-).

 LPRng-3.8.19-3.1.SL30x.1.JSP     based on the last LPRng in RH9
 R-2.0.1-0.2.SL304.JSP            stats package
 aspell-0.50.5-3.SL304            from RHEL4 fixes _many_ bugs
 aspell-<langs>                   from RHEL4
 dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-4.SL304 from RHEL4
 exim-4.44-2.SL304                
 fftw-3.0.1-2.SL304.JSP           fairly decent fft code
 octave-2.1.57-7.SL304            from RHEL4 also links against fftw
 pidentd-3.0.16-4.SL304.JSP       from FC2 (sadly missing from RHEL/SL)
 xdialog-2.1.2-1.SL304.JSP        

I'm considering add the cm-unicode (Computer Modern) Type1 unicode fonts
for X to use (well I have a test srpm, but I'm not yet sure how useful 
they will be.

These are based on the last srpms I could find (RH9 mostly, though some
are from even earlier things):

 xmgr-4.1.2-12.SL304.JSP
 xv-3.10a-27.SL30x
 ical-2.2-27.SL30x
 nmh-1.0.4-20.SL304.JSP
 fvwm-1.24r-24
 fvwm2-2.4.6-1

If anyone knows of newer versions of these I'd be interested in knowing 
where to find them.
