Well, I'm guessing perhaps there is a package out there which only contains ONE RPM (and maybe located in RPMS/rhl9) and every other distro uses that same RPM). If that's the case and if you nuke rhl9 support from generic-setup, then essentially that package will no longer work on any distro. That's why we need to convert all packages to use generic-setup, so that they use the distro/<distro>-<arch> directory structure and also use generic-setup as opposed to "setup" in scripts/. I think there are just a couple of those "old" packages lingering around. Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
