Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Ludo, That might cause confusion like you said, so I'm not sure if that would be an improvement. I guess I was wondering whether there was an easy way to do something like build your entire system with a newer Mesa, or use LibreSSL=20 instead of OpenSSL as mentioned. Of course you could change your own git checkout, but that's not as elegant as '--with-input/--with-graft' etc. Another option would be to make your own transformed packages and add those as services instead of the regular versions. Unfortunately a lot of services right now don't have that option (OpenSSH for example). Plus you're pretty liable to make a mistake that way.
