The problem with binary RPMs is that they rely on having at least the libra=
ry
versions they are built against.  I don't think that it makes sense to star=
t a
pool of binary files of development versions for various distributions and
releases, which would be notoriously out of date by design.  Especially
building RPMs with checkinstall is not a good way for doing this job because
this tool might be nice to cheat some entries into the package managers
database, but it is not a reproducable way to build packages to distribute =
on
a regular basis.

If there is interest, I could do a spec file for libgpg-error.  Then everyb=
ody
could do builds of RPM packages in a simple way as you can do now with gpgm=
e.
