If 0.6.0 is likely in a couple weeks, I have no need for an 0.5.2

You don't realize what I did.
I expanded the latest source rpms I could find, 0.5.1
think .spec file in the download directory was a bit newer
took the source code from git
mashed it all together and built an rpm

Think to get it right all I would need to fix the %files section

There may be other more subtle problems.
I don't know!

I'll be glad when I have something I have a bit more faith in.
