Jason,

Gratifying!

Are you with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?

> I'd like to install LDM on a CentOS box,

The LDM is known to work under CentOS 5, 6, and 7.

As would we all. Unfortunately, yum(1)/rpm(1) isn't the only package
management system and we don't have an automated system for generating the
multiple distribution formats that would be necessary.

Correct. That was a bit of an experimental one-off to investigate what it
would take to support a binary distribution system.

...

Great!

>  I'll let you know if I run into any difficulty.  Thanks!

I'm an "advanced beginner" when it comes to rpm(1), so please feel free to
make any suggestions.

Steve Emmerson
