SWISH-E Daily Windows Builds are being made again. Sorry for letting them go for so long. I'm really glad to find that makensis now runs natively under Linux. WINE has had a number of little nagging problems under Fedora Core. Currently I can't seem to get the ttydrv (Windows GDI Graphical) driver to function; meaning I can't really schedule Windows applications to run in text-only mode from cron (UNIX system task scheduler).

I may start building daily Fedora RPMs for SWISH-E. I don't have a ton of disk space on my web host. However I would like to make daily builds available to get it out there for testing. That hinges on a few things such as getting the Fedora.us build system working on one of my computers. I have a spare machine I could put online just for doing automated builds. That may be ideal.

Also, I'd like to get stable releases of SWISH-E into Fedora Extras. That will be some serious work due to the Fedora.us packaging guidelines and the shear volume of Perl modules the SWISH-E helper scripts support/require. I think it is worth doing, though. There are a growing number of people using SWISH-E and I'd like to make their lives a bit easier if possible. Should I support Red Hat Linux 9? I really don't know how many people are using it compared to Fedora Core or Red Hat Enterprise.
