And I would strongly recommend them for any future CVS build. Get the
src RPMs and drop a new checkout in & rebuild (after you've sorted the
macros out - see the atrpms list for a not-complete-set, sigh).

Keeps the whole system much tidier and a lot easier to use; the
dependencies and later upgrades are all taken care of for you by
apt/rpm.

Cheers,
