Ugh, yeah what a PITA. make World WORLDOPTS= make install install.man .. takes ~=20 minutes on a bad day, including untarring, and also calculating dependancies, and tarring up final packaging. ;o) Packaging XFree86-4.2.99.4-20030121.2 in build system Logging to: /home/mharris/rpmbuild/logs/XFree86-4.2.99.4-20030121.2.devel.log Fixing up file permissions: done. Building source rpm package: XFree86-4.2.99.4-20030121.2.src.rpm ... success. Building binary rpm package ... success. Total build time: 0:21:16 <sigh> It'd be nice to upgrade this slow boat anchor. Who wants to wait 20 minutes? ;o) -- Mike A. Harris _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
