Now hold on a second there! What about packages put together from multiple sources? Say MH with Linux patchs? I don't want to deal with writing something that will be able to intelligently do the patchs needed and then make the source. If you go too far down this road, you get back to the maintainer having to write the entire script himself -- which means they will be prone to bugs and unusual differences in form/style. Jim
