In regards to this post. This is something that has been troubling me for a looong time. List / Timo , have you checked this out ? : https://nixos.org/nix/ They claim that is portable between distros and doesn't touch each distros' package manager and can also roll-back versions. I've been struggling with CentOS 7 and Ubuntu versions for the last eight years and it seems really tempting. At the moment, I don't have the time or stamina to pursue this. Some feedback on this would be really, really nice :-) Regards, spyros
