That's right, I knew there was another reason for this :-) This all came up when we got the original guidelines approved. I even built bytecode packages of some library on x86 & ppc to prove that the bytecode files really are identical. One way might be to move all the bytecode files into a subpackage (which is noarch) and have the main package (which would now be pretty much empty) 'Require' it. We don't want to break the ability to do 'yum install ocaml-foo ; ocaml ; #require "foo"' Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
