Hi, I ask this question here because I know a lot of you manage to install lots of applications from a fresh cvs snaphot without troubles (I think ;).
How do you manage these from-source installs ? Are there people who use stow ? [cfr. http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/stow.html] Or does make install / make uninstall usually does a good task of (un)installing the software ? I have installed software from sources this way before, most notably alsa eg. I just wonder if there are any "tricks of the trade" to be mastered. thanks in advance Vincent
