OK will slurp and try to patch as need be.

I'll take a day tomorrow to get to grips with internals and try and get
a packagable pre-alpha :)

Things I want

1) Dealing with fscked up pseudo RH based distro's (Ensim, ISP of
choice, etc) who can't manage to deal with the idea of complex
environments.

I may buy/rent/be forced to use:

A x86 server with a base - probably old RH install without decent
attempt to build packages, modify  anaconda, etc.  It just annoys me.

Sometimes that leaves me with some really fsck'd servers between
versions with a flaky glibc, with iptables in the kernel, no binary and
with a leaky conn_track table.  Grr!!

Current is how I see I can bring order to that - we can't do that with
shelves but I want to say...

"fix all the updates from RH on this machine other than these ones I'm
handcrafting as pkg's and ignore the completely brain dead ones from
this vendor..."

I can't do that atm :)

Sorry ranting, as been in pub - :)

Cheers for the heads up Hunter will download and try and test
tomorrow...
