Yes, of course!

However, when I did a 'make rpm', I got an error. Could you please fix
this one?

The relevant messages was:

error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: 
   /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Brlapi-0.5.2-py2.5.egg-info

Another question: Should the package java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel be set
as a BuildRequire for the java bindings for brlapi?

Thank you!

Lars
