I will write to the person who has done Linux RPMs for NCL in the past, and ask if this is something he plans to continue. We will also try to do some research soon to see what it takes to create an RPM ourselves.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">--Mary</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 5:09 AM, Kreienkamp Frank <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Frank.Kreienkamp@dwd.de" target="_blank">Frank.Kreienkamp@dwd.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
