Dong. We had a case in the fora a short while ago of someone deciding to build, from source, the latest version of python. Dong. Completely wreaked his system and wanted help in attempting to recover it. Dong. I see no problem with a guide offering instructions in building from source as long as it is thoroughly tested (as I'm sure it will be) and a warning/disclaimer along the lines of "This is an unapproved technique . . . blah, blah, . . . and if it breaks your system, you get to keep all the pieces.", etc, displayed prominently at its head. Just my £0.02/$0.04. Alan. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
