Mike Maher, Red Hat
developer in charge of the PowerTools set, has sent out the
following announcement:

Much like the distribution there will now be a rolling release
of Powertools. New RPMS will be added and this release of
Powertools will be updated on a weekly basis. Please submit
feedback and suggestions regarding Powertools either directly to me
or at redhat-devel-list@redhat.com. If you know of an App that you
want on powertools, please point me at it, and if you have a Source
RPM that would be even better. 🙂
