I just untarred and retarred the rpm-4.3.2.tar.gz from rpm-4.3.2-10.src.rpm, and it shrunk from 24317156 bytes to 8109624. Something went wonky when that tarball was created; if I gunzip it, I get a rpm-4.3.2.tar that is 130867200 bytes but only extracts to about half that size. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
