I’ve built RPM packages for MongoDB 1.2.2 that are native to RHEL5 / CentOS5 systems. They’re in my Yum repository now. Note that I’ve also built newer packages for the Boost libraries because Mongo likes newer versions than the ones bundled with the distro. Packages are available for i386 as well as x86_64, and there are source packages of course as well. Enjoy.

   Are you going to send it up to Fedora/CentOS proper? I could see this being very helpful!

   Updated spec for 1.2.4. If you can get this work into Fedora/EPEL then I’ll be able to submit my pymongo spec.
