I think directories are different, especially since it is difficult (at best) in an automated buildsystem to create them with the same timestamp (which is part of what RPM evaluates for determining if items are the "same"). In the past, a bunch of directories just went un-owned, but that caused other problems, so there was a push to get them all owned. Some multilib packages took the separate-RPM approach. I'd hardly call 24 *-filesystem-*.rpm packages "a gazillion" though. :) -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
