Hmm, so it's still built against 2.12? Why is this? IIRC I read a month
ago that 2.12 should be dropped in favor of the current release.

If new RPMs are released and the procedure I have done works to get the
plugin running I think, if wanted, there could be a hundreds of testers
available to run the plugin and report bugs.

When/if this works I will write up a Wiki-page or similar with a
complete instructions on how to do it on Ubuntu/Debian.
