Lenny and others,
I went to rebuild the hackgimp RPM because it doesn't include the perl
stuff in binary form and noticed your comments in the spec file. The
reason the perl stuff keeps bombing out is the shared libraries in the
perl autoload directory link themselves to the older Gimp libraries
I agree, it very nicely indicates software that is in development mode
and potentially quite unstable. It has my vote.

No offense, but that's a crummy response to user feedback, a habit on
this list I might add. Yes, I can patch the code, but that's not
relevant to the discussion, nor can I do that during install. In actual
fact,

Is the code freeze off? It would be good if we could start packaging up
some of the newer versions of the software that is out there.
By the way, I tried the new installation (FTP'd, through a firewall on
an ADSL connection) and I'd like to say that it went great. Two minor
problems that I saw:
The program you are looking for is called "tee".

I don't think that you want to remove the choice of selecting
individual, optional packages. What I recommend though is that you
remove all required packages from the list, which should trim the info
back a bit.
