No RPM builds

For version 1.0.5, released in December 2006, the noarch.rpm file is not available.
Reason is mentioned in the CHANGES file, more details in this forum posting.

The command used to build the RPM file:
python setup.py bdist_rpm
fails with these errors now:
RPM build errors:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/bin/blockhosts.pyc
/usr/bin/blockhosts.pyo

From the BlockHosts CHANGES file:
* Not including noarch.rpm with this release - the scripts that used to
work, no longer work, and from searching on the web, this may be
a distutils/rpmbuild interaction problem. For now, use the non-RPM
install instructions to install this program, INSTALL has details.
Web search yielded someone else running into what looks like the same problem: distutils-sig@python.org/msg02536
But the fix mentioned in that email thread did not fix blockhosts rpm
build.
