I download the SRPMS for RHEL, and for non-test releases of Fedora Core. I frequently modify and rebuild (on both x86 and x86_64): kernel (perfctr extension) glibc (find and fix the bugs) and sometimes gcc (dwarf2 unwind) wvdial,minicom,etc. (dialup seems to be a forgotten stepchild, but it's still required) I also burn a DVD of the SRPMS, and keep it as a defense against possible future license changes which might restrict my activities with respect to then-readily-available sources. -- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
