If you know how to do those things, learning how to make the ebuild that does it isn't that much more to do. Then, instead of just filing the bug report, you can submit an ebuild as a suggested fix with it and help out. Linux works best when the users take part in it! P.S. A good place to start in writing an e-build for a new version of a package is to use the ebuild for the old version ;) -- Randy Barlow http://electronsweatshop.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
