I use package management via little scriptlets I put into my build scripts. Putting it simply, it takes a picture of the filesystem before and after the installation of a package, then compares those pictures for differences. The differences are what is installed by the package. Works well, however, it won't include files that are installed by a package that overwrite an existing file. But that is a pretty rare occurrence. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:18:01 up 151 days, 13:51, 3 users, load average: 1.17, 1.07, 0.75 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
