The only package I have used "make clean" on is the linux package (done from
the folder in build_i586). AFAIK this is the only solution in order to get
the kernel to re-compile after changing the kernel build options. Please
correct me if there is another, better, way.

I am not the only one to have wanpipe not compile on them from last night's
svn - Manuel also had this. The iaxmodem problem was after another make
after touching some files to make the wanpipe package believe it had been
built, so I suppose it could be due to that.

I don't wish to rude, but why update the rhino package in the stable branch
if it was working before and the new version is known not to work?  Can I
simply revert to using the old version of the rhino package?  Are there
known issues with the older version?  If so, what are they?

Many thanks,
