Hi Dave et al,

Thanks, can you maybe also let us know how you would add this repo, so
we can maybe update the instructions?


To me it looks like the instructions here:

http://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#rhel-centos-scientific-linux

are not working anymore for recent versions of RHEL/CentSO, but please
correct me if I'm wrong.


I'm not sure if we have an official 'maintainer' of QGIS for the
RedHat/.rpm based distro's currently.

For the sake of the project I think it is good if we have working
instructions for rpm based distro's.

maybe also able to build rpm's?

We should maybe also tell people if is too hard/impossible to install
QGIS or QGIS-server on a RHEL/CentOS version (as I understand on RHEL5.5
it's not doable because of a lack of certain Qt libs)..

Anyway: just bringing some people together hoping we can get better
installs and install instructions for rpm's :-)
