Excellent! As my distro is Fedora Core, I would certainly make a few 
tweaks to the .spec file to adapt it. I will also cross-compile the 
whole thing, so I am bound to hit a few issues, but if this file is 
near-enough complete, then that's good enough for me. I've just finished 
a long-overdue upgrade of my build environment (have been postponing it 
for over a month) and I am ready to roll...

Thanks for that - I already have it (you've last updated it 2 days ago 
according to the git logs). One of the tweaks I'll do is make the build 
a bit more modular. For example, I do not need ODBC/PostgreSQL, so the 
ODBC/PostgreSQL-related BuildRequires are not needed, so I'll probably 
encapsulate the whole package with %define, %if...%endif block. I'll 
also add a separate %define for the FS user and group names (so that 
they are configurable - just as a security precaution).

I also notice you are not building h323 due to dependency issues. What 
kind of issues?

Also, I take it Source0 is the compressed archive of the current git, is 
that so? If that is not the case, are the files listed as 
Source1...Source13 necessary if I download directly from git and then 
compress that into an archive?

It is important for me to know, because my intention is to check out the 
latest git, compress it and use that as the main source for the build, 
therefore need to know whether the additional sources 
(Source1...Source13) are in fact part of the main git tree.
