Short of having your own distribution, I can't imagine anything ever satisfying your needs. Red Hat and freshrpms.net make their packages appeal to the largest amount of people possible. This requires compiling in support for every sensible feature that the application offers. Anything else implies recompiling hundreds of packages of in the Red Hat distribution alone and almost all of the rpms that Matthias makes. You're welcome to do so if you want to, of course but asking for this to be make the rule instead of the exception it is sounds VERY impratical. Emmanuel
