I've said it before and I'll say it again. The arch's shouldn't be this closely tied to each other... cooker for i586 moves along at a clip that you (Stew) can't possible hope to keep up with. It's the reason we have missing SRPMS, it's the reason we end up with missing noarch's. As far as I'm concerned you should have complete control over what goes into the PPC tree. You don't and that's stupid. I can't imagine how you can manage to get anything done. If the i586 guys want to continue to control stuff going into the PPC tree, perhaps they should actually start working on it, start accepting patches for it. Maybe Warly or someone should come over and do the PPC work for a week. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough." - Jim Nichols
