We've never had any problem with this, but I think one of the reasons why is that we're absolutely religious about deploying everything on our servers using distribution packages. We make them ourselves if we have to. It's hard to introduce dependencies when you go through a proper packaging process, and nearly impossible when you use package checking tools to double-check. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
