The problem you run into is some people building RPMs aren't going to know this and will end up distributing i686 or Athlon or whatever archs... But yeah for the few people that rebuild stuff locally for their arch it's probably inconvient. But I tend to think of those people as power users and they can handle make a few directories and a couple files with their specific configs in there. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
