Thanks, but not really. I'll also mention that he really, really prefer that we not build except where absolutely necessary (like gspca for the video device). There's still the question: how can they build the package, if the dependency's not there? mark PS And I had to remove my hosting provider's mailhost *again*

See http://repoforge.org/faq/ (and note what is in an updated rpmforge-release.rpm). Regardless, I just keep the yum repo files set to enabled=0 and explicitly use --enablerepo= on the yum command line when I want to install or update something from there. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
