(I only subscribe to the digests so I don't see the replies on the list immediately) FWIW, I *did* check the list digests over about the last week or so but I missed that issue. One thing that might be really helpful in that regard is some kind of separate list or web archive or search engine that simply shows recent known and confirmed CVS/build problems so we can quickly check it before cvsup'ing a box. My apologies for spamming the list in the first place. Phil -- Philip J.
