As others have said, just post if you need help upgrading. What
distribution, and where you are getting it would be useful info if you
do.
It's not a question of "not being able to" (not that you suggested it was
:-). It's just that it's soooo much easier with RPMs. I've got lots of
other packages that I compile from scratch, but every upgrade of some of
those turn into nightmares.
Anyway, it finally finished and I'm "back in business".
Wow! I didn't realize the rpm crowd was that far behind, but I just
checked rebelbase, and sure enough. =8^(
FWIW, that was one of the things that I finally started compiling from
source back on Mandrake, too, because I didn't like waiting for the rpms.
Still, I don't think it was /that/ far behind back then. There was
usually either a Mandrake or Rawhide rpm up within a week to 10 days.
Now, the newest appears to be 0.117 (SuSE).
