Yeah well I realized I could do that. But what I've been doing lately is trying to use brs as the release tag on the end of stuff that I'm not sending over to you guys and mdk on things that I do. Sometimes I put out packages that are originally cooker for other Mandrake distribution releases (e.g. 8.2/ppc). When I do this I try to use brs instead of mdk so that when the next release comes along the Mandrake package of the same version will take preceidence over mine. It's probably more accurate to set the Vendor tag to my own name rather than Mandrakesoft. But I'd rather only have to edit the release tag to do that. I'm just being lazy and trying to minimize the changes I made to cooker packages that I'm rebuilding for other releases. :) -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
