Hello there,

gEDA-gaf's upstream will from now on produce one-big tarball instead
of individual tarballs as it used to do in the past.

This affects fedora's geda packages and packaging process. In
accordance to Fedora packaging process the following tasks ought to be
made:

* file a new package review for gEDA-gaf
* obsolete all existing fedora geda packages

The challenge here is how to get users update their system flawlessly.
I have produced test packages which I sincerely hope to receive some
feedbacks as this will dictate the time taken before the next update
will hit the stable repositories.

For Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 users, please add to following to
/etc/yum.repos.d/gedatest.repo
# --------------
[gedatest]
name=gEDA test - $releasever
baseurl=http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/gEDA/$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
# --------------

for fedora 10 users with:
* 32 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.i386 --enablerepo=gedatest
* 64 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.x86_64 --enablerepo=gedatest

for fedora 11 users with:
* 32 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.i586 --enablerepo=gedatest
* 64 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.x86_64 --enablerepo=gedatest

Looking forward for some feedbacks

Cheers,
Chitlesh
