It's important to note that while building an RPM _can_ mess up your installed system if the spec file is bad, it _shouldn't_. The RPM build process will run "make install" with a special temporary build directory as the target, and it won't overwrite your actual current binaries until you actually install the RPM. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
