Update on my system crash: The server that crashed is still offline awaiting replacement hardware, so the most recent daily chirp build was done on a laptop that is running Fedora 16 (fc16), which was released last week. Therefore the resulting RPM in the KK7DS repository is an fc16 RPM. When the server that is offline is restored to service, it will also be running fc16. Moving forward, all future chirp (and d-rats) RPMs will be made for fc16 as well. The fc16 RPMs should work fine with Fedora 14 and up.
Status of Fedora Core 13 (fc13) RPMs: With the release of fc16, fc13 becomes unsupported by the Fedora Project. We have been building fc13 and fc15 RPMs for a while because fc13 used python V2.6 while fc14 and up use python 2.7. The plan forward is to only generate fc16 RPMs and discontinue the fc13 RPMs.
If someone needs fc13 RPMs, please contact me and we will try to work something out.

All,
Sorry, but we experienced a hard drive crash this past weekend on the system used for making CHIRP and D-RATS builds. Fedora RPMs for the daily builds will resume after recovery.
