Yes, well, learn how to build as non-root, then it is not so scary. You should *never* build *any* rpm from source as root, in the same way that you would probably never build the source as root. > > I remember a long time ago (maybe around the release of FC4) there was a > discussion about Bacula's compatibility with some new technique used in FC4 > and that especially would be included in FC5.

Well, I just added the fc4 define to the bacula.spec file because it is what I am running, but it does exactly the same thing as the fc3 define -- that is I didn't bother to do the hard part (that Scott always does), update the dependencies. To answer your question, I'll probably switch to FC5 a few months after it comes out. However, I don't see why the source rpms wouldn't build on FC5 with no change (just use the build_fc4 define). > > -- > TiN > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
