It did, thanks. It's still a shame that to upgrade a package we'll need to download the binary package and the source, recompile and then install. I'm just being greedy, I suppose. :-) On a related note, is there a program that can keep a record of the most heavily used libraries and programs, so that a list could be made of the most useful ones to recompile?
