yes, I know, but it means to download lot of tarballs, which is a bit complicated ... therefore I wish to have database on gentoo.org :-) IMHO names of files shouldn't be in ebuilds ... it would be wasting lot of space, bandwidth etc. just for very sporadic usage (btw. I needed it first time, while using gentoo for >3 years) noro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
