Thanks for writing that up. I have a few questions:

* "For Fedora 9, the version numbers 9, 9.0, 9.0.0, 9.0.1, and so on,
are all acceptable." - I thought I saw you putting 8.92 into
something...is that still okay? At the moment the spec file has 8.92

* In the "Building" section, "You can then carry the .src.rpm file to
the Fedora Package CVS, in the fedora-release-notes/devel module, and
run cvs-import.sh <SRPM_FILE> to update everything automatically.".
Where is the "cvs-import" script, and will running "cvs-import" carry
the source RPM, do do I use cvs import for that?

* "make tag build" - is this all I have to do?

* Once translation is complete, do I only need to run "make release-srpm"?

Apologies for not understanding this.

Regards,

Murray.
