For the snapshots, I'm sort of thinking if we can get one or two different rpm's that would probably be sufficient. Partly because in past releases we've found that as people have been cleaning up the spec files our rpm's seem to be installing pretty cleanly on any distro. And partly because based on my experiences with autopackage I really think it's a much better solution to cross platform packaging for Inkscape than providing an array of rpm's. I'm thinking that for 0.39 we encourage people to try installing via autopackage and see how that goes, and if it catches on and we don't see too many problems, then maybe for 0.4x we consider cutting back the number of RPM packages we provide, and put more emphasis on use of the autopackage version instead.
