Yup, and I'm still open to any improved algorithms to help determine whether it's a legitimate "removing hardcoded /sw in upstream" vs "maintainer making forbidden assumption about local prefix". Allowing straightforward regexp replacement of "/sw" seems like the obvious way to patch that out. I can't think of other likely-to-generally-work recipes that are easily distinguishable from inappropriate uses. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
