They're not randomly rolled :-)

I've organized for them to be automatically "rolled" for about 18
different distro versions from a single tarball and spec file.
I'm also the guy that writes a whole lot of the code you're using - so
I claim some legitimacy for doing so :-)

Incidentally, if you're after RHEL packages, they're also available. Try:
   http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/RHEL_5/ or
   http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/RHEL_4/

The spec files are totally different.
This one is based on the one used by SUSE (since that's where I work),
but have been modified based on consultation with clustering
colleagues at Red Hat.
