I'm in the process of adding a new builder running Fedora Core 4.
Hopefully it won't generate too many more errors.

The builder will generate RPMs and SRPMs.  If all goes well I should be
able to add builders for other Fedora versions as well as SUSE and other
distributions.

Looking through the current .spec file, I noticed the following:

  The .spec file doesn't adhere to the layout of any particular
  distribution.  Should we try to provide a drop-in replacement for
  the Ethereal package that ships with a particular distribution?

  Everything is in one package.  You have to have GTK+ installed, even
  if you just want to run Tethereal.  Should we have separate console
  and GUI packages, e.g. "ethereal-base" and "ethereal-gui"?


In related news the buildbot directory on the web site
(http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/buildbot-builds) was getting
a little crowded so I moved the Windows and source packages into their
own directories.
