It's of no big use except if the files belonging to a particular package have to be kept physically together because there's no other way to identify them. I've been using this method for software developed as part of my work and for infrastructure code needed by it and it indeed works very nicely provided investing the fairly high amount of human effort required by maintaining it is no problem. Because this became impossible some years ago, I've then switched to building (usually pretty bare-bones) Debian packages and found no reason to regret that so far as this means I only have to maintain one central package repository and can deploy these to any number of machines with existing tools very easily. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
