In order to save bandwidth, I have built the package without the data-files. 
It's just a couple of scripts. 
One thing: I don't know if I have to do something special to make Enemy 
Territory work on non 32-bit Intel platforms.
I have tested my package and it works ok.
It's called enemyterritory-2.60b-0.pm.1.noarch.rpm :-)
