For example, I build a separate sendmail config RPM, and I have it depend on the version of sendmail that the sendmail-cf used during build it is built against (e.g. if sendmail-cf 8.12.7 is used to build the config, sendmail-8.12.7 is required). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
