+&gt;<i> Hi,

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+I now packaged your perl-MIDI-ALSA for Mageia Linux 3/Cauldron after some
+Mageiaisation of the .spec file. Thanks!
+
+If you wish to return the favour you can package Freecell Solver
+( <A HREF="http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/">http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/</A> ) for Fedora/CentOS. The .tar.bz2 already has
+a built-in .spec and .spec.in and there's also a Mageia package for it here:
+
+<A HREF="http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/freecell-solver-3.14.1-1.mga3.src.rpm">http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/freecell-solver-3.14.1-1.mga3.src.rpm</A>
+
+I should note that it should better be made a suggests of the Fedora PySolFC
+package, because it enhances it (see <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYdqNuX4WJc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYdqNuX4WJc</A>
+). PySolFC recommends the following flags in build Freecell Solver:
+
+--enable-max-num-freecells=8
+--enable-max-num-stacks=20
+--enable-max-num-initial-cards-per-stack=60
+
+Translated into the new CMake build system, they are:
+
+%cmake -DLOCALE_INSTALL_DIR=%{_datadir}/locale -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=%{_libdir} \
+-DMAX_NUM_FREECELLS=8 -DMAX_NUM_STACKS=20 -DMAX_NUM_INITIAL_CARDS_IN_A_STACK=60
+
+I tried to set up a Fedora VM to prepare the package and test it, but Fedora
+ran extremely slowly on my VirtualBox VM and I couldn't stand it (Mageia and
+other Linux distributions as well as Windows and FreeBSD run fine on different
+VMs). If anyone can she any light on this issue, I'll be grateful as well.
