srpm is an RPM package that contains source archives, patches and compilation instructions. it is used to build binary RPM packages. in the RPM spec file you list the patches that you want to install and the build process will path the source tree with them after it extracts all the source archives. It is relatively painless to add more patches and test them, though I think that dittigas intended for something a bit different. -- Oded ::.. a host is a host from coast to coast but no one uses a host that's close unless the host that isn't close is busy hung or dead. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
