There are RPM's for both ra and nest on ftp. Ra is on the main ftp
|
|
|
|
server, but nest is located on separated ftp:

Current policy in CVS, is that packages for ra are in the HEAD, and
|
|
|
|
packages for nest are in DEVEL branch (this ain't true for few packages,
|
|
|
|
for example kernel has KERNEL_2_4 and rpm has rpm-4_0_4 branch, use
|
|
|
|
<command>cvs status -v foo.spec</command> to find it out).
|
|
|
|
This policy should change soon, though (nest will go to HEAD).
