Comment 1 for bug 482487

Unfortunately distutils doesn't produce rpms out of the box, I don't use any RPM-based system anymore and don't really have the bandwith to produce good-quality packages.

I'm afraid I'll have to close this bug by simply not shipping rpms anymore: it's much better not to ship broken packages and let the distributors, or someone with rpm expertise, produce good quality packages.

I'm closing it by changing our release scripts to simply not generate rpms. Please do encourage the Fedora/RHEL maintainers to talk to us about contributing updated rpms, we'll be happy to host them (even from nightly builds).
