Hi, Bradley, My concern about installing extra packages by hand has nothing to do with how long it takes to install them. My concern is that I need to avoid non-standard packages (and package versions) as much as possible because they tend to cause trouble (which can take a lot of time and effort to debug) as other software on the system gets upgraded through the normal processes. -- Joe _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
