Hey, this happened many years ago (maybe '97), so I don't recall exactly what I did, but I didn't have to go through too many hoops :) Regardless, my point is that it pays to think about interfaces and encapsulation, and this one is such an obvious fsck-up that it should have been painfully obvious from the very beginning. It's still surprising that it managed to resist for so long. What would happen if rpmbuild would define %buildroot by default, and make it immutable? Then we could just sed through the .spec files and nuke its definition from there... -- Dimi Paun <dimi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Lattica, Inc. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
