I don't know about gnutls 2.0 case, but updating from 1.4.1 to 1.6.3 is safe, meaning that there is no SONAME bump . So there isn't any "need" to rebuild... (as far as i know). That might be interesting to have it. Updating gnutls-devel >= 1.5.4 will allow filezilla 3.0.0 (final) to be available to the F-7 branch. So now, gntls 1.6.3 is only within the devel branch. But it just has been commited for the F-7 branch. I will request F-7 branch for filezilla and build for F-7 if released... Someone know if gnutls 2.0.0 is already BuildRequired by some apps ? Anyway Might be interesting to rebuild packages in devel now instead of having it updated later...(if possible) Nicolas (kwizart ) > Rich. > > -- > Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ > Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod > Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.
