Huh? On gentoo I have these modules:
maybe. but some distributions have the concept of meta packages which pull in
everything. (at least debian and openSUSE have them, openSUSE calls them
"Patterns" if I'm not mistaken.)
Gentoo supports those to, as dependency packages. The master package
call them for download, flags are passed. The dependent packages are
built as guided by the flags set for the master and bingo. They are
installed before the master packages is. That's what portage on gentoo
does, it "architects" the dependency hell solution, before a single bit
of code is compiled. Dont like portage, not a problem. A gentoo dev
developed another fantastic package manager call 'paludis' [1].
If you build A and it
requires B, C and D, then they are auto-magially pulled in. Standard
i.e. NO BIG DEAL.
What you currently have is what professional software developers call
"a kludge".
welcome to real life ;) (That's also a kludge, BTW. Starting at the DNA
level...)
Huh? DNA complexities pretty much put a bullet into the central concepts
of Darwin. You need to get up to speed on modern genetics. Many
medical school have stop even teaching evolution due to the vast numbers
of holes, the deeper and smaller one looks at the organics of life.
Not really at all, for believers. The struggle is what is important, as
all things are designed, supernaturally and fit together as they should,
with biology and physics, making the time-dependent interactions, very
interesting if not infinite. *choice* is the true mantra of the
believer and it is what we all struggle with. After all the natural
world uses a "super-natural" event as it's stated starting point
(big_bang).
SO:
I'm putting together a usb image. Hopefully folks will be able to
download, build, save and have a gentoo system right on the USB stick.
It will boot gentoo and allow downloads and compilations. So Ill move
the "OPM ebuilds" so the can be downloaded and built. Albeit they are
not finished as describe previously.
Once folks witness the coolness of Gentoo, dude, it's very, very hard to
go back to transient and broken and old and crusted binaries.
Technical folks love gentoo. So hold tightly to your prejudices; your
world will be rocked by gentoo..... as soon as I can get the usb image
together.
