If you think "Mail client is broken" is anything like a reasonable description of an issue you are quite mistaken... it is one up from "saying computer says no". I'll help you out (and bring it back on topic), likewise: your Linux distribution rebuild project is broken. Was that any help to you? Am I pointing you in the right way? Please join the dots to figure where it is going wrong...? Oh, you don't even see the problem, do you? Just ignore it in that case. Perhaps it will go away by itself. Well, it doesn't exist, so it can't go away because it was never here.... etc..... > > Anyway, you now know a bit about threading and how lists work, so a > small win in its own right. > And you know what is wrong with your project. So we are all winners tonight, aren't we? Truth be told, I doubt you learned a thing tonight. The CentOS build process is not the only thing that is "closed" around here. p.s. When you take your car to the garage do you just tell them that it is "broken" and they can figure it from there. You'd be doing them a favour... maybe they might learn something. Personally, I just tell them as much as I can because I am keen to get it sorted and move on. Just my opinion, ofcourse.
