if your honors pls, allow me to say something about this topic :-> using package
manager has its own advantages and disadvantages and the same true without using
the package manager. the former advantages is the disadvantages of the latter and
its disadvantages of one is the advantages of the other. for example, installing
using rpm is pretty much faster than the source code but tweaking some code for
tuning purposes is pretty much easier for the source code than the rpm and many
more. every person as its own way to deal to his or her own problem whether he or
she wants to use the source code or the rpm. in short, it just a matter of choice
where he or she is most convenient and comfortable with.
contempt by dirty tactics,
fooler. :->
