Reading your original suggestion again, I realize it does indeed work - also for my pedantic view: An additional detail I forgot to take into account is that fallback build-dependencies are ignored on official build daemons where deterministic resolving is important. Sorry if you felt this thread was too long - and thanks for opening my eyes to a more compact way of expressing this kind of issue than I'd come up with. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
