<incredulous>Really!?</incredulous> I have seen *lots* of projects provide a link in their list of download files to project_name.latest.tar.gz which is a symlink to the latest version of the tar ball. Couldn't a script be added somewhere which basically does this: (mind the wrap) ln -sf `ls -tr /path/to/rpms/epel-release-*.noarch .rpm| tail -1` /path/to/epel-release-latest.noarch.rpm That seems trivial. j -- Joshua Kugler Part-Time System Admin/Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com - Fairbanks, AK PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0x73B13B6A _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
