As far as I can tell, the only changes between 6.2.12 and 6.2.15 are two small bugfixes: one for CIPE, another for debug traps (the latter not mentioned in %changelog...bad RH! no biscuit!). And to make things even more interesting, one file in the src.rpm, ipvs-1.0.6-2.2.19.patch, contains a hunk looking a lot like a fix for some double-free() problem zlib.c. But this patch is not used! They use ipvs-1.0.8-2.2.19.patch which lacks this particular hunk! --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile.
