Sergio,

I would ideally like to provide some RPMs for YDL (does anyone know if 
the license Eclipse is distributed under will allow this?), so a little 
documentation on how you did this all would be very helpful so I can 
compile some packages.

If you could take some time to do this (or just explain things in a 
quick email) I'm sure lots of people would appreciate it.

Cheers,

--Jon
