Re: [LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.4.6 - The Funky Deviless is here!

Regarding the just-released "Qtractor 0.4.6 (funky deviless)": In case
anybody wants it, I modified the SUSE RPM spec file from
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.6-4.rncbc.suse112.src.rpm
Into a Fedora12 Spec file and built RPMs for x86_64 architecture
(which is
what i use). Feel free to use these until Fedora or CCRMA repos are updated:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 721437 2010-05-21 17:39

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5921972 2010-05-21 17:37
http://nielsmayer.com/qtractor-debuginfo-0.4.6-4.npm.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 829528 2010-05-21 17:37
http://nielsmayer.com/qtractor-0.4.6-4.npm.fc12.x86_64.rpm

The RPM spec file differences are trivial
