Yes, it's a huge build, but you really only need to package it once. Unless it is forked, it's likely abandoned so bitrot will get it some day. At least it's unlikely to change a lot, so you would not have to package it often other than after major releases or when a shareable dependency is updated. Note, I don't use blender, though I find it impressive! -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
