yes, you can. I don't know why it got out of the patch.

no, there is no gnome-db developer using RPM-based distros :-( We seem
to all be using debian, and that's why we get debian packages for all
releases (thanks to Akira). So, we really need someone to take over the
job of doing the RPMs.

The dedication needed for this is 2 hours (exaggerating) the first time,
to set up a script for doing the job, and then, from then, just read the
list for new releases and fire up the script everytime there is a new
release. So, as you can imagine, this will mean like 30 mins from time
to time :-)
