BTW using the pkgsrc format or a compatible one (extended) would be nice. IMHO
I agree. Is the following format compatible? PACKAGE-NAME/bin/COMMAND PACKAGE-NAME/share/info/COMMAND.info ... This is the most basic format. It will be hard to move everything down one subdirectory, since one should be able to simply do `tar -xf foo.tgz', without getting the current working directory full of garbage. stut stores a independent database of installed packages and versions. It does what stow doesn't does. But stow does this, it stores it in the file-system. BTW stowfs stores the information as a translator for the filesystem, so, what would you wanna setup? Sorry, I don't understand. I know what GNU have and what Debian have and how works, but i'm just trying to expose a "new" view or possibility for the GNU package system. I atleast do not see what new views you are showing. I'm all for new ideas, but as of right your post as been more of a--no offence meant--advertisment, and hasn't really explained what is a `new' view or possibility for the GNU package system. Could you explain what this `new' view is? How is it usefull? What does STUT/pkgsrc achive that is stowfs/GSC cannot? Happy hacking. _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
