The problem with this is that Mandrake separates SAMBA into four different RPM's:
samba-server-2.2.7a-9.2mdk samba-common-2.2.7a-9.2mdk samba-doc-2.2.7a-9.2mdk samba-client-2.2.7a-9.2mdk The CVS or any source tgz I would get is all in one directory structure. Would I have to break it up and create four RPM's? Is that possible without breaking the conf and make files? -- Chaim Keren Tzion | [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator " The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Dept. of Neurobiology " Tel: 972-2-658-5083 Inst. of Life Science " Cel: 972-2-54-652983 Jerusalem 91904, Israel " Fax: 972-2-658-6296 ...................... : ............................
