I agree with Greg, Pacman is superior to Slackwares Pkgtools and does not depend on a quirk only available in tar <= 1.13.. I have created numerous interchangeable PM modules (DPKG, Pacman, Pkgtools and Pkgutils) for my personal education/use, for Greg's DIY code and use the progenitor of Pacman, Per Liden's Pkgtools. I would not recommend the Slackware PM due to the 'tar' limitation and its lack of sophistication and DPKG is for masochists ( 3. A willingness or tendency to subject oneself to unpleasant or trying experiences.) > > http://www.jaguarlinux.com/ > > Regards > Greg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
