This works great if you compile your own, but if you're using packages you get the defaults which might not be appropriate for you and more importantly if I create a package there's no external indication of what mod_php-4.2.3.tbz contains - a real PITA when you have a single build machine and need to distribute custom packages all with the exact same name. One thing I can appreciate about the Debian stuff I've been forced to install lately is that all these parts are trackable from the package management system. -- Dave Cornejo @ Dogwood Media, Fremont, California (also dcornejo@ieee.org) "There aren't any monkeys chasing us..." - Xochi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
