There's several problems with it, though. First, as Derek notes, you can't build i586 and i686 kernels. Second, and even more troubling to me, you don't get repeatable builds. If you switch your update build machine, you might lose track of all of the kernels you're trying to support. And, bugs in the current version of RPM itself make rpm operations very, very slow if you have large numbers of the same package installed. -- Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
