When you recompile, do it as an RPM (with rpmbuild). Before rebuilding, change the version number to include a release number and your initials. Install the RPM. As it has a later release, it should take precedence over whatever is currently in the repo. Conversely, if you change the epoch, you can prevent later relaases in the repo from ever replaceing your package. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
