Thank you for detailed explanation. Please note that most software that is not included in Debian are distributed in source tarballs. Most of this software installs to /usr/local by default now. (You type configure && make && make install - and program installed)
So, default way is dangerous way in Debian. Non-dangerous ways are: - not traditional; - consumes much more time; - more complicated. It is a good reason to think about Debian's (or GNU/Linux) usability and ways to increase it. It all was about installing software system-wide by administrator. By the way: does Debian have any simple and comfortable methods of installing software by non-privileged user only for him/herself? --------------- WBR, Sergey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
