Any help is appreciated. No one else is doing any work on this so you are 
welcome to step in.

A few weeks ago I received a bug report from a fedora user. I changed the spec 
file so now GNUmed client installs and runs. I have not checked for Fedora 
specific bits apart from rpm dependencies (having a different name in every 
distribution).

I think you should get an account in Novell/Suse build service. You can then 
work on the spec file either downloading it to your computer or building 
directly in the build service. We can work on this together.

Right now it should be in good shape. As the next step run all the tests 
recommenended by fedora. As the third step please consider contacting the 
fedora packaging mailing list and file a inclusion proposal with their 
bugzilla.

It would be nice to get GNUmed client and server into one of the next 
releases.

As a side note. Currently there is only one spec file for all rpm 
distributions (has section for each one).

If fedora will not accept that we have to seperate it again which is 
depreciated because of maintainance work.
