Hm, there is a distribution that uses the split tarballs: gentoo. snipped from /usr/portage/dev-db/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.1-r1.ebuild : SRC_URI="mirror://postgresql/source/v${PV}/${PN}-base-${MY_PV}.tar.bz2 mirror://postgresql/source/v${PV}/${PN}-opt-${MY_PV}.tar.bz2 doc? ( mirror://postgresql/source/v${PV}/${PN}-docs-${MY_PV}.tar.bz2 )" Better is to drop a 'bug' to bugs.gentoo.org so that the ebuild will be fixed;-) <Earny> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
