there seems to be alot of differing opinions wrt integrating or packaging
all the bbtools with blackbox. i'd have to say that, although it can be
tedious to dl/build a bunch of apps rather than just one, i'm in favor of
keeping things as they are now. i think the best suggestion so far on the
subject has been for some sort of installer that could ask the user what
parts of blackbox they want, download them, and build them. this would be
great for all the newbies (each tool could have a brief description of
what it does and suggestion for whether or not it's necessary ala the
linux kernel's 'make menuconfig') and would also simplify things for those
of us who know what we want but dont want to bother downloading and
building each individual package.
what does everyone think? would such an application be useful? what sort
of an interface would people like (fancy gtk/x thing, ncurses/console
thing, simple cli q&a script)? i'd be willing to do some work on this if
there's interest.
