To start with I tagged all the directories in cvsroot on
parsons.abisource.com with

cvs rtag release-9-4-1 abi abidistfile wv expat libpng zlib psiconv
aiksaurus...

(The whole set of directories.)

Then I built a fresh directory on my system with

mkdir abiword-0.9.4.1

cd abiword-0.9.4.1

then
cvs export -r release-9-4-1 abi abidistfiles wv expat libpng zlib
psiconv...

then cd .. and

tar zcvf abiword-0.9.4.1.tar.gz abiword-0.9.4.1

For 0.9.4.1 I used your gnome spec to build a gnome rpm on my box. I used
my spec file for building the gtk version.

I put abiword-0.9.4.1.tar.gz in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
I placed the spec files in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

as root I cd'd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

and execuated the following script.

#!/bin/sh
rpm -ba abiword-gtk-0.9.4.1.spec
mv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/abiword-0.9.4.1-1.i386.rpm /home/web/web/abiword/abiword-gtk-RH7.1-0.9.4.1-1.i386.rpm
chmod o+r /home/web/web/abiword/abiword-gtk-RH7.1-0.9.4.1-1.i386rpm
rpm -ba abiword-gnome-0.9.4.1.spec
mv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/abiword-0.9.4.1-1.i386.rpm /home/web/web/abiword/abiword-gnome-RH7.1-0.9.4.1-1.i386.rpm
chmod o+r /home/web/web/abiword/abiword-gnome-RH7.1-0.9.4.1-1.i386.rpm

This placed the rpm's on my website for download by any interested people.

After that I ftp'd these rpm's to:

ftp://upload.sourceforge.net/incoming

and moved them into the release section of the abiword project.

Then I manually fixed some links on the webpage on parsons.abisource.com

Cheers

Martin
