That is extraordinarily cool!  Thanks a million!  I also see that
tuxmath-1.7.0 is currently building for Mandriva 2009, with the other
distros already successfully done.

Is this the result of fixes for the overall OBS support for Mandriva,
or were modifications to tuxtype itself (or the spec file) needed?

How would you suggest we make these available to users who come to our
project's site looking for rpms?  Is it OK for us just to provide a
link to where they can find the package in the opensuse build system?
I could post all these packages at our site, at the risk of making our
"file releases" page even more confusing to people.

Alternatively, we could just put up a "News" item telling people how
to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search and search for the
packages available for their distro.

Thoughts, anyone?

David

p.s. - fwiw, I'm about to post a tuxmath-1.7.1 that includes the
various small issues we've addressed in the last few weeks.
