Well, I could probably do a number of things to remedy this.

But my point is that I would expect a number of other people
having the same trouble, and it thus would be advisable for
your project to pack the export files with a slightly less
bleeding edge rpm, so that the binaries could be installed
off-the-shelf on most systems.

Else people have to install new rpm, or recompile it from sources
or the like. Not so expedient.
