I've really found no other problems with it. Install, uninstall, monitor. It all works quite well for me, but there was an
aggravating learning curve. Additionally, like the hint promises, I really know my system and now I understand Makefules.
Did you have to change makefiles too often? And was it makefiles or
makefile.in's?
Actually, I remember changing only one Makefile--and I should have changed the makefile.in. That was in 'hplip' for my printer.
I don't remember having to change any other package. I have had to 'read and research' makefiles to see if the whole "directory
chain" of an install needed to be converted to "install directories."
Hmm, that looks like a dawnting task. Have you not tried the package user wrappers - in a previous post on this thread Matthias
Benkmann said: "Having to change Makefiles is a rare occurrence because the wrappers deal with almost everything automatically"?
