That's for installing whole programs rather than running custom scripts. > If I need advanced scripting, I just build my own .deb files.

And some distros prefer rpm. So I'd have to build at least two kind of packages just to run simple scripts - no thanks. And still, you have to remember about machines which were unreachable or offline (yes, packaging system will reject to install a package twice, but still, it's not very elegant). It may depend on how you start the installation of such packages, of course. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
