 Fair enough. I have the CVS stuff here, and I'm wondering whether or not
to try install it, and see can I do some bug spotting/fixing. Only problem
being that it does take a while to do the whole build. Does anyone have a
script that does something like "for i in ~/download/gnome/cvs/* ; do cd
$i;./autogen.sh;make install" ? Has anyone been able to tell RPM "compile
me up & upgrade all these source directories" ? I assume you can't use 'rpm
-ta' on a directory...
