Hi Matt,

I made some progress with the rpm packaging of the dyninst git repo proccontrol branch. The updated dyninst.spec file and dyninst-7.99-0.12.fc17.src.rpm are available at http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/dyninst

This source rpm builds and installs on Fedora 17.  Any feedback on the rpm packaging would be appreciated.
