Re: gnome-core / gnome-applets 1.1.6 "BRAINTREE!!" released

["Sean Middleditch" <sean middleditch Iname com>]

If you're running an RPM system, usually, just rpm -ta whatever.tar.gz will
build the RPM if it has a spec file... which every true gnome package has
that I've tried so far (with the exception of the older packages or ones
that aren't part of gnoem itself).

rpm -ta gnome-core-1.1.6.tar.gz worked perfect for me, in any case.. ;-)
