Would be even neater if it allowed you subsitute rpms... IE it can't find foo_bar-1.0 but you have foo-bar-1.0 (different distro's) it could come back and ask...Hey you don't have this and I can't find it... what do I do 1. use a subsitute (at your own risk.... good luck) 2. abort. Would be best if I could build rpms that had an "or" capability in BuildRequries in the spec sheet, but this might be a usable work around. James > > Wes > > >
