Not directly or immediately. And certainly any changes I do suggest will be done in a backward compatible fashion.. There are some things I believe we should be able to do with /etc/setup... 1) Detect cross-package conflicts. Say foo and bar both contain /usr/bin/ld.exe. 2) The lst files are currently gz' files, I think it would be good to change to using bz2 in the future. Doing the 1st one really requires a more database orientated approach -- long term of course. > Also, since I wrote most (all?) of what I'm pulling out, I felt pretty > comfortable with it... Oh, sure :}. I wasn't meaning you weren't capable, just that having the same code in two places is bad because of the capability for skew. Rob
