If I allowed you to run that, then file checksums would be changed and the packages would fail to remove cleanly.

I think we are waiting on Todd (in CC) to get back to us. If all goes well there, then we just need some OKs. > P.S. Do you want me to test on amd64 and sparc64?

Nor do I. And if you did, you would probably not have the patience to wait for the build :P But seriously, if the build is broken on these arches, then I think we could fix these based upon bulk build logs. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
