I think the success of some open source projects comes exactly from the fact that any user of any system may produce binaries for his favorite distro and make it available to the community. The question then is to have a "critical mass" of users for said Linux flavor and a group of enthusiastic developers willing to package binaries for the rest of the community. So I would say the probability (and usefulness) of having Irrklang or Irrlicht binaries for Scientific Linux is relatively low, but the same is not true for Ubuntu for example. There are a lot of Linux applications for which the distribution and packaging is not made by its developers but instead maintained by the comunity (or the different communities), and Irrlicht/Irrklang seem to me like good candidates for that as well. Hell, there are OGRE-related libraries on the official Ubuntu repositories! Just stabilize the API and give it some time. On my side, I'll spread the Gospel of Irrlicht![/quote]
