What do you mean by patch level releases? I assumed that this was something 
that we do once we have reach our first release and are working ahead for out 
superb second release, but don't want to leave our users with buggy software 
in the meantime. I don't understand why we would patch an alpha version of 
software :-)

On the compilation issues, I don't have much experience with dealing with 
them, but most dependencies are easy to deal with because it is just a case 
of installing the correct development packages.

libxml++ is a different case, since there does not appear to be an RPM package 
to install. Perhaps it should be included in Piave CVS until it (libxml++) 
get's it's own libxml++-devel package?

Cheers,
Jason
