Which doesn't work (doesn't install to begin with) with 2.4.2. But when 2.6.16 is finished we may stay with FC4 (as a default linux base port) for a while. And yes, this port is intended to become a future linux base port.

This patch is needed only for package building to fetch rpms with sources (when PACKAGE_BUILDING is set). Normal users usually don't do it. :-) Anyway, the patch should have been committed before/while committing linux_base-fc6. > > I'd better commit it (to get users a chance to test it) but sometime > > ago you mentioned that you have some upcoming changes to linux* ports > > which you would like to commit.

Just to clearify, did you mean that I may commit that patch? Thanks for your answer.
