I'm not sure that fits with the comments made so far that indicate that the new packaging solution being worked on will not provide a build system. That isn't to say that the source, etc. couldn't still be obtained via a method you suggest, but it would not have the same result as an srpm, or what apt-get does. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
