Local Packages
Updated bittorrent to 4.9.4. Builds on python 2.3 are now working and the pygtk interface to maketorrent is now replaced with a wxPython interface, so the pygtk2 dependency has gone. However, the curses client appears to stick on Waiting for torrent to initialise and launchmanycore (the multi-torrent seed client) is thoroughly broken.
Updated perl-File-Find-Rule to 0.29
Built Twisted packages for Fedora Core 2, Fedora Core 3, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, ready for when bittorrent is in a fit state to release for those distros.
With some guidance from OrionPoplawski, I updated contagged to get rid of virtually all of the PHP warning messages it was generating, and also tweaked it to use the separately-packaged php-Smarty library from Fedora Extras rather than the bundled version. It's getting very close to being ready for submission to Extras now.
