Subject: Makerpm updated : new features + support for RedHat 7.0 / RPM 4
Date: 9 Feb 2001 23:46:23 GMT

I have released a new version of makerpm.  Makerpm is software
designed to turn perl modules into RPMs.

The new version has been tested on RPM 4 systems, and should work on
earlier versions as well.

New features include - 
	 - automatic creation of description information 
	 - possibility to use install scripts
	 - semi automatic detection of package documentation

This should gradually be making its way round to different CPAN
mirrors worldwide. as 
	authors/id/M/MI/MIKEDLR/makerpm0.200.tar.gz

P.S. Makerpm is also meant to create PPMs.   I don't think I have
broken this, but given that I haven't tested it, I probably have.
Please send 'patch -u's to me if you would like to fix this.
