I'm not sure if either of those is possible, without breaking Mandrake on i586 machines (not to mention i686s). As for urpmi, I presume you are talking about rebuilding an RPM and when the rpm gets upgraded upstream, urpmi --auto-select wants to use the precompiled version. In that case, the best course is probably to edit your /etc/urpmi/skip.list and ignore that package, but keep track of the changelog list, so you know when to download a new version of the SRPM. I've begun to develop an interest in adapting urpmi into some sort of Gentoo-like system. What I could see is creating some sort of hdlist-like file for the SRPMS directory (listing the rpms that get built by each SRPM and their provides and so forth). A config file stating which packages the user wants locally rebuilt as needed would be useful in that case. Maybe I should learn perl and hack urpmi to do that... :o) -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Love lies in pools of questions.
