I did spend quite a bit of time investigating the various approaches (before deciding to go with the pkg-user approach) and even after that when I wrote the package management section for BLFS. Basically I found that the DESTDIR approach was the best solution for creating a package before it was installed on the final system. It is not by chance that most of the major distros out there use that approach for package management. I use a combination of the DESTDIR approach and pkg-user approach. The DESTDIR approach allows me to create a nice installation tree. The pkg-user approach allows me to maintain a sepration between the various packages (by not allowing files to be overwritten, e.g hemidial or libiconv overwriting critical glibc headers). -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
