Hey Keith,

You got me all excited.  But here is the top of the README file:

Here you will find a collection of RPMs (and corresponding SRPMs) that
when installed, allow Evolution 0.15 and MrProject 0.4 to work successfully
and cleanly on a Red Hat Linux 7.1.9x or newer system.

.. and I'm running RH 7.0.  I will upgrade someday, but not tonight :)
