Well, I have good news and I have bad news. First the bad: This thing is a nightmare to package. The whole build process is designed for an individual to do a personal install. Not only does it bundle a number of libraries, but it downloads two dependencies as part of the build process, one of which is a binary package, so it's arch specific. It's going to take quite a bit of work to make it acceptable to distros that don't allow bundled libraries and unless they make it a priority, I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Additionally the main makefile doesn't even support an install target. You have to go into a system specific folder (linux, windows, Solaris, etc) and all it does then is copy in a few system specific files to the build location and tar it up. The good news is I made a very hackish SRPM which you can try out. It installs into /opt/nightingale because it doesn't install anything to the appropriate place. It also doesn't provide a desktop file so there will be no menu entry in Gnome/KDE, etc. The SRPM is quite big because the source is 43MB by itself and it downloads two other sizable files as part of the build.
