Yes, I am familiar with mach. It's not for lack of hardware, or even disk space. It is simply that I cannot in a clear conscience support distributions I don't actively run (I forgot one distribution I actively run, and that's Aurora SPARC Linux (currently at 1.0, which is roughly equivalent to Red Hat Linux 7.3)). So even if I did have a box running, say, RHL 7.2, for the express purpose of building RPMs, I would be uncomfortable supporting this since I no longer use RHL 7.2 actively. I had in the past thought I would do so, but then people expected more than I could deliver. And so the current situation is that people who actively use older dists build it and support it for those dists. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
