So, the only possible use for functions.old is when you install patched release - but exactly in this case it does not work. functions.old is cumulative, so there is no way to selectively revert only a single patch. Much easier to do patch -R and reinstall :-) I ask, because functions installation takes a long time - that is not actually needed IMHO. /andrej
