A new version of the Autopackage cross-distribution packaging system for Linux has been released. The most important enhancement in the new 1.2 version is the improved C++ support, making it possible to create a package that will install on systems with different C++ ABI versions (gcc 3.2 or gcc 3.4). Also, first steps to integrate Autopackage with native package managers have been done: now it is possible to uninstall an RPM package conflicting with the autopackage that is being installed. There are also many other GUI and backend improvements.

Nah, the best way to get XaraLX is to: yum install XaraLX in FC5 :-)

Not everybody uses Etch. There are many, many, many users who use other distributions which don't have XaraLX in their repository, or don't have enough manpower to package XaraLX too. That is one of the reasons why Autopackage exists.
