I realise this is not a big issue as you are simply trying to get the big packages built in advance, If you drop the --columns and replace the awk call with sed 's/.*\] \(\S*\).*/=\1/' you will get properly versioned atoms. Or you could try --keep-going as suggested by Marc - I've no idea whether that will play nicely with --buildpkgonly. Either way, it's an excellent idea and one for the GMN tips thread. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 14: Temporary tax increase
