I can use the packages ruby 1.8.6, sqlite 3.4.2, rubygems 0.9.4, and python-4suite-xml 1.0.2 from Ubuntu 8.0.4.

I can use the packages autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10.1, and m4 1.4.10 from Ubuntu 8.0.4

(Everyone needs these in order to build from trunk. This applies to many open source projects.)

Yes, they will be whenever a package maintainer decides to package OpenDNSSEC.

Yes, they should.

My conclusion for Ubuntu 8.0.4 is that I have to build from source for ldns, dnsruby, and botan. What versions of the other software do you have in RHEL as a RPM?

Could you add some notes on RHEL to our wiki?
