In the near term, as y'all do, you probably need to run post-processing after every patch activity. This is annoying, but I have come to accept it: Either use binary packages as-shipped and then clean them up or build them yourself from sources and configure them as you need. Either way, you WILL have some "build" activity to do. -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
