That's my problem !
An 'unnamed colleague' deleted the previous build directory.
May I suggest that you start using some sort of package management
tool - like RPM ?
Everything would be a whole lot easier...
And lets someone else who's skill set you don't know and who's practices
are equally unknown make all manner of decisions about your
installation. Thanks, no. This is really very easy stuff to build and
manage.
You are already using free software created by 'someone who's skill set
you don't know and who's practices are equally unknown'. Your argument
holds no water. Of course the best part is you are free to choose your
own method.

Thanks Jim, you saved me saying pretty much the same thing, but if DP is
concerned more with how the package is constructed -
Thats where the beauty of RPM comes in. Download the SRPM, read what is
happening in the SPEC file and if you dont like it, change it and then
rebuild the RPM. Amazingly simple... Just make sure you update the
changelog ;)
This is what I do except I don't bother reading what someone else did,
and I build specifically for a Cfengine push-out. I have less than 10
man-minutes of involvement in the build and distribution enterprise wide
(less if I don't watch it). I spend a bit more time testing in a lab to
be sure I've picked up any new features, conf file changes or command
line options that might be new.
No Linux or Windows here.
There is nothing unholy about building from source nor about using
packages. They each have advantages and I'm in favor of those provided
by my choices. Ease of use and time saved are not valid criterion as
neither method can claim the advantage. Can we all just get along, now?
