Sounds reasonable. Unrelatedly, while fixing that package, the following is a little problem: install -o root -g wheel -m 755 rc.sleep %i/etc/ install -o root -g wheel -m 755 rc.wakeup %i/etc/ because it prevents --build-as-nobody from being used. By default (either with or without --b-a-n) all files are installed owned by root:admin. If that's acceptible for these rc.* files, then you can omit the -o and -g games here. If you really need them group=wheel, better would be to omit -o/-g here and have a 'chgrp' command in PostInstScript--and definitely a DescPackaging note about this group requirement so others can figure out why there are non-standard ownership flags and/or build-unusual-actions here. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
