Unfortunately, this won't fly as we rely on file timestamps to tell us which files have changed. Tom's idea of making a temp copy of the repo and patching that would work, but if you're going to do that why do a vpath build anyway? Regarding the idea of a list of approved patch authorisers, don't we have such a group now? i.e. "committers". cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
