| I was trying to upgrade gnome 2.8 to 2.10 with the
| gnome_upgrade.sh by doing:
| 
| #setenv MC_TMPDIR /usr/home/myuser/tmpdir
| #sh ./gnome_upgrade.sh
| 
| The build soon failed because of gnomespeech package.
| All the FAQ I've read suggest to restart the build by
| passing -restart flag to the shell script together
| with the tmp directory I've chosen for the logfile but
| when
| I tried: 
| 
| #gnome_upgrade.sh -restart
| /usr/home/myuser/tmpdir/gnome_upgrade_lst.XXXXX 
| 
| it did start from the beginning.

yes it would start in a similar way, however it would skip
some steps (ie. the removal of the ports that it would then
reinstall)

| So my question is what is the right syntax of the
| command so that the script restarts rather than starts
| 
| from the beginning? I guess it is a simple one but 
| all the examples I've read didn't work.
| 
| Furthermore, should I delete gnomespeech from the .lst
| file of packages to bulid it properly? 

Yes, if you have not solved the problem, perhaps it is a
good idea to remove it. Also do consider that the reason for
failing to build gnomespeech might also affect you down the
road once you restart the script. 

| 
| Thanks in advance.
