Yes, I think we are all quite happy (the Baylor team as well!)
BTW, I suppose that there is now a good chance to see Grass included
in Linux distributions (Debian, RedHat, Suse, etc...). Is
anybody thinking about some more "end-user" package (i.e. binaries
+ data + tutorial) ?
Yes, we consider creating "rpm" packages. Perhaps
- one source rpm
- one Linux binary rpm
- one data rpm
But: No idea to create such packages (and no time). any volunteer
to help here?

You can download the book, Maximum RPM, from the www.rpm.org
website. It's an excellent reference. You can also grab a
few sample .spec files (they specify how to build the rpm)
and tweak them until it works. I'll be glad to help answer
questions, but I'm a little busy to do it myself.

Yes. I will. Gives me a real reason (not just because I like playing) to
work with GRASS and rpm.
I'll start the process this week-end. Weather has got the outside
honey-do list cut short. If I can dodge the inside list I should be fine.

I'd let the distros sort it out. I know there's a Debian maintainer
working on a 4.2 version *.deb. Each distro might want to muck with
the configuration anyway. However, as a bandwidth impaired user, I'd
appreciate parts of the system being broken up into more manageable
chunks. For instance, grass-core, grass-addins (SWAT, AGNPS, ANSWERS,
etc), grass-docs(html,ps,etc..), grass-sample-data. That 20MB file is a
long download (on a modem) if it succeeds, and many of thoses proggies
don't seem to compile by default anyway.
