As we discussed in the previous thread, there's no perfect way to know the names of the patch files used in a PatchScript because that field is "limited" to being a script of arbitrary complexity written in an arbitrary scripting language. There are some pretty good heuristics we could use, for example, validator checks things matching the regex: %a/.*\.patch But a false positive match would really suck for users. Conversely, accidentally omitting %a would never be caught. Source is more foolproof because that field is highly structured with a very limited syntax: given a URL to a file, determine the filename. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
