You haven't been looking too closely at the way some distributions are building their packages then. At least two of the distributions I use regularly (Gentoo and Debian) have the habit of adding a load of patches during package build. And not all of those go back to the upstream, to put it mildly ... Regards, Alex. -- "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." -- Thomas A.
