While it's great to hear about linux_devtools-7 in the works, it's essential that the linux_base-7 have a 'strip' utility. Otherwise, linux installs like devel/understand_[c|ada] are going to either: 1) fail; or 2) require linux_devtools-7 as a dependency (when linux_base finally "buys it"). While I personally wouldn't mind installing linux_devtools-7, I'm sure others--especially if their a little short on bandwidth--would greatly appreciate moving the rpm that contains 'strip' into linux_base-7. YMMV, of course. -- jmc MacroHard -- the perfection of form over substance, marketing over performance, and greed over design . . .
