I can only agree. I had to roll my own binary package format and after a short while I had to do the dependencies myself and just ignore RDEPEND since it was close to useless. While Gentoo is fantasitc to build stuff, the binary packagement has some serious issues. It would be really nice if Gentoo could be better on supporting other binary only package managers. -nc -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
