And how many people are running a svn checkout that don't either know what they are doing, or have access to the tools built for their distro? I for one would just install the latest for my distro and know that they have watched out for what ones go together. After that it isn't that big of a deal. If someone is going out on a strange platform or distribution, they are likely to have access to something not so exotic to make the files before transfering to the exotic platform. -- critch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
