Good news!

Sorry, can't help with that. My Python coding is very limited and I
have absolutely no artistic talent. The only thing I can help is
packaging and translating to french. but I could help forwarding your
advertisement too :)

Ok. Then I'll stick with 0.3.x and try to package them fast enough.

In fact, I have a working RPM of adonthell, but it will never be
accepted in Fedora repositories as rpmlint is complaining about some
"zero-length files" in the API documentation. As I don't know how
doxygen works, I don't know if I can just remove them :S

Here is the error message from rpmlint, if someone has any idea:
adonthell.i386: E:

Once this is done, I can submit it to the Fedora repositories. I don't
know how much time it will take, but it might take some time: I need to
find a sponsor, he has to review my package and if it's ok, I need to
submit a second RPM for inclusion so they can see it was nota one time
luck (hopefully, I will have 2 RPMs to submit: adonthell and
wastesedge :)

But while I'll be waiting for approval, it can be good to put them on
the download section of adonthell :)
