Hi Paul, We're still working on the correct procedure for getting contributed rpm's into the contrib area. It looks like you've done everything we usually need except for 2 steps 1 - Put a Readme file describing the packages, who packaged them, and where you got them from. What you have below is pretty good. 2 - GPG sign the packages. Since we don't have your public GPG key, it would be good to put that in the directory as well. Troy Paul A.
