Look at:
http://www.gentoo.org
Keeps my home machine up-to-date. I never go looking for things to fulfill
dependencies. Gentoo does that for me. But it is a distribution, not just a
package manager. In some sense, for Gentoo these are two aspects of the same
thing. I installed Gentoo a year ago and the package system keeps my system
up to date. I do not need to reinstall Gentoo to have the latest release.
It is worth the effort to set up.
