One has to be cautious about the bootstrap environment, to make sure that the libraries available in your "mock" or other build environments are the same libraries. Red Hat seems to be very, very good about this. Scientific Linux isn't so careful in their recompilation, something that's been documented here recently, but it's why I want access to the "/etc/mock/" setups and the non-existent source control for tweaked packages. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
