Re: Swarm 1.2 has been released - RH RPMs anyone?

[Philip Rhoades]

Swarm people,

I have been waiting for this release - I had an attempt at getting 1.1
going (nearly made it) but then decided to wait for 1.2.

Is anyone likely to produce RPMs for RH Linux 5.0?

Keep up the great work!

Regards,

Phil.
