The "Maximum RPM" docs that come with RH9 are Copyright © 2000. That's ages ago. The docs are good at explaining -i, -e and -q, but refer to -b for building which is no longer applicable since "rpmbuild" took over those chores. Does anyone know of a better source of current information regarding "rpmbuild" that's comprehensive and more descriptive than the man page? A book, web site, anything. I'd prefer examples and scenarios to just a dry man page description of all the bells and whistles. Bill Gradwohl (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com SPAMstomper Protected Email
