Okay, I think my email is starting to work again now. > you should check slpm before arguing ;)
I have used it, though admittedly it was before the recent burst of activity. I will make sure to try it out again. > i also recommend u to try pkgsrc. Will do. Naturally any problems to do with variables is a problem with the packages, not the system itself. You can discover installation methods with grep or, I assume, the .PHONY target, though I'm not quite sure how that works. Maybe this could be added to the system itself. mkpkg is definitely enough for my needs, and perhaps others' too. It does lack a few features present in slpm, granted, but then it's a fraction of the size. I'll look at it as the sic to slpm's ii. ;p Thanks, cls
