Just one final question (I promise (-:). Would it be possible (and make sense) to move the "gcj-dbtool -a" stage from %post to %install? I'm thinking the build system has enough information to compile the map -- when installing the package, only merging would then take place. This would offload most of the disk IO to the build system. -- Ziga
