Maintaining an rpm isn't so bad but I don't have a good enough understanding of the package internals to make it work so I'm not likely to be useful at fixing bugs, case in point below. The other issue is that the upstream support is pretty much non-existent so the former is actually a big issue as far as adding a new package to Fedora goes. > > > What version was installed? > > Dapper and Feisty have version 5.4.2. > Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty have version 5.5.1. I've tried 5.4.2 and 5.5.2. I think that 4.8.1 worked at some stage but I haven't gone their again. I spent a couple of hours on it again after sending my last mail and ended up in exactly the same spot I did last time. [r...@zeus ~]# /etc/init.d/autofs start Starting automount: automount: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libdmallocth.so: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local There's clearly something wrong with the linking but after stuffing around with the make file to even get this far I tend to run out of steam at this stage. > > > > BTW, perhaps you could check dmalloc's log file as part of > the > > automated testing? > > > If I could easily build an rpm each time I updated Fedora then > I would > script something and run it regularly.

I haven't checked any debs yet but I'll do that before giving completely, again.
