Sure I can do all of the above: its several days work to get there and is essentially the same as switching my development platform to a different linux distro. My build starts with a cvs checkout, and invokes ./devtool with a set of options so that I can bore into a reproducible problem with "make -C tests test". I can't do distro-of-the-day linux development. If there is a "regression" in rpm-5.4.15 as you claim, it will be all platforms, not just PLD. 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
