I think I have read tutorials on building from source on one of the Mandrake sites - and in the field of audio, it seems necessary to use CVS to get things working sometimes, even for the kind of user who wouldn't normally need to touch it. I can think of situations when making your own RPMs from CVS would be useful, other than for sharing with other users via the internet - for instance, build CVS on one machine, deploy RPM quickly on many. Some Mandrake-style documentation on the differences between building from CVS and building from tarballs might therefore be useful. Cheers Daniel
