Just what exactly is a distributed source build supposed to be? > It's fairly easy to do so. It is just as easy to update a debian package. > Then BSD is useless, just like Gentoo, eh? Nice kernel, too bad about the awful userspace and package system. I keep hoping debian will finish up their Debian Gnu/kfreebsd one of these days. freebsd kernel with standard debian user space on top. > The portage toolset is nice when packaging "gets in the way" of > dependencies. Packages never get in the way. They do what is right. If you work with it and actually do things right it will avoid lots of problems. If you just barge ahead and try to ignore dependancies, then you get what you deserve. If the package doesn't do what is right then the person that made it made a mistake. If someone screws up the rules in ports, then it doesn't work there either. > I disagree. Gentoo has its place in enterprises. They just are > typically in the leading edge development arena. Well many developers do like breaking their machines, so I guess having them run gentoo would be no different. Of course at some point you have to make sure the code being developed actually works on the target system. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
