Jup, it's pretty neat!

I don't know what you mean. Paste EXACTLY what you are trying to do, I mean the shell commands and the output. To remove a package with paco, the command would be: 'paco -r $packagename'. Please read the manual: 'man paco' Also, there's a graphical version, gpaco available. I strongly recommend that you uninstall packages BEFORE you install a newer version. Additionally, you might want to make a backup (using pacoball). My routine for upgrading packages is: $mkdir paco-build-DDMMYYY (DDMMYY is todays date. That will prevent temporary files in the build directory from being removed during the uninstall because they are referenced by paco as part of the package.) $ cd paco-build-DDMMYY $ tar xf $PACKAGE $ cd $PACKAGE $ make config && make && make check $ paco -r $OLD-PACKAGE $ paco -lD "make install" && ldconfig $ cd ../.. $ rm -rf paco-build-DDMMYY HTH Lars > > Thank you > > > []s, Fernando de Oliveira Natal, RN, BRAZIL > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
