The new RPM never was the a real problem -- the necessary steps were 
well known (I should have made that more clear in my mail, as that could 
have avoided lot of others mails in this thread; sorry). Xavier is 
working on it and he has access to the two x86 builders now)

The PPC build is the problem and will likely stay a problem for a few 
days (¹), as I couldn't reach dwmw2 yet.
