To my perhaps naive thinking, wouldn’t the results of both projects be essentially the same?<BR>

This sounds very interesting.<BR>
<BR>
I suggest touch base with Mathieu from the Enterprise Linux packaging<BR>
efforts, who are packaging for redhat. I assume that between your two<BR>
projects there will be much that you can share.<BR>

<BR>
Also,<BR>
I've involved in the OSGeo-Live packaging effort, which has packaged 42<BR>
of the best geospatial open source applications on top of Ubuntu,<BR>
including all the OSGeo incubated projects.<BR>
Of particular interest would be our shell install scripts which you<BR>
should be able to copy in order to create your rpm installers, and also<BR>
the documentation which projects are creating for us which you will<BR>
likely be interested in copying too.<BR>

<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc</a> (our main wiki)<BR>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project</a> (provides links to our<BR>
build scripts)<BR>
<BR>
Good luck, I'm interested to hear how things go.<BR>
