Indeed! :)

I'm just a regular Joe user of a smartphone & Centos (which is the OS choice
of my employer who provides the laptop).

While most of you, on Centos, are experienced with compiling source code
(e.g., MPT source), I fail half the time if/when I try to run make files.

For an average user, will this problem of mounting an IceCreamSandwich
Android phone to a Centos laptop be resolved when MTP RPMs are available?

If so, when would we expect to see MTP RPMs in the standard repositories?
(i.e., how long should I expect my workaround to be in place?)
