What? Install an IOCCC entry? I realise it seems odd so why did I make a rpm
spec file and why did I hint at building RPMs for others? I can't say precisely;
**certainly I'm under no impression that anyone else will want to use it** *but
the entry was fun enough for me that I actually will* (a number of my programs
over the years are programs I actually install and I already have done so with
this entry). I already have my own RPM repository and initially after having won
I set it up so that I could host the weasel rpm (binary and source) there. At
the same time though I feel the entry belongs on the IOCCC website; that is to
say the only place the raw files should be downloadable from is the IOCCC
website itself. Simon Cooper (the judge who deals with setting up the entries on
the IOCCC website) asked me if there is any real attachment in having the RPM
built as part of the entry and the answer is 'no'. He did suggest too that if
I were to have the RPM hosted on the IOCCC website not only would it place a
burden on me to keep it up to date but it would place a burden on the judges -
in other words he himself. Even if it wasn't a burden to me I agree on the other
part and so I have instead come to the following ideas:


*   I will not host the actual source code or scripts on my website; they will
remain on the IOCCC website. This will most likely never change; instead I would
link to the entry directory so that they remain where they belong: the IOCCC
website itself. I have set up an [errata page][] however should there be anything
requiring a fix.

*   I am keeping the weasel.spec file in the entry as it was part of my
submission but I do not explain here how to set up the build environment or how
to build a RPM: if you know how to use **`rpmbuild`** then you should be able to
work it out.

*   Because I strongly suspect I am the only one who has any desire for actually
installing an IOCCC entry I will not worry about setting up a repository; if I
do set up a repository in the future I will include information on it somewhere
