Thanks.

Rather than be on a bleeding edge ("much fresher versions"), it would be
better to have everything built to function within an integrated whole
(Fedora 18) (see issue regarding libwebp below). To that end, can any
information be offered as to when F18-/Postgresql-compliant Postgis RPMs
will be packaged and made available?

Much thanks.
