    Hi All,
    I recently discovered the mailing list - mailed the author a while ago saying
    I have a spec file for w3m, I guess he's a busy person :)

    The story is I wrote it to keep my systems tidy, but realised afterwards it
    could be of use to the general community. The attached spec file was tested
    with 0.1.11pre5, to make it work with another version just change the
    "Version:" directive.

    It's very easy to use, I use it like this;
    - drop the spec file into the w3m directory, named w3m-version
    - tar/gz the directory up into w3m-version.tar.gz
    - build the rpms from the tar file "rpm -ta w3m-version.tar.gz" (probably as
      root)
    - install the rpm it spits out
      (e.g. /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/w3m-version-1.i386.rpm )

    This takes advantage of feeding in defaults to the configure script, it is
    easily changed but I'm wondering whether a more generic solution is more
    useful (which will require some makefile changes). The example builds an
    english version of little w3m.

    Comments?
