#2073: Package management page is oversimplified --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- There are the following drawbacks on the http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.3/chapter06/pkgmgt.html page:
* It doesn't list all goals of package management. In addition of easy uninstallation and upgrading, the page must mention easy deployment and handling of configuration files. * The "LD_PRELOAD based" subsection is better renamed to "Tracing the installation script", because one can either log installation with LD_PRELOAD, or with strace. * Handling of configuration files is not touched upon at all. At least, please mention the decision not to list configuration files (i.e., those that the user may modify after package installation) in LFS and BLFS books, so that the task to figure them out is placed on the reader. * Creation of package repositories is not mentioned. At least, please state that it is a complex task to duplicate a distro's infrastructure. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2073> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
