Sir Ramil,
I use Slackware. Simplicity ang habol ko. I tried Debian before, but I find the packaging system (those apt-stuff) too complex. Sa Slack, plain old tarballs, no dependency checks...
a question to all slackware advocates: we can embed scripts in a Slackware package, right?
when will it be executed? pre or post installation or can be both? how about during
uninstallation?
correct me if i'm wrong, we can utilize the embedded "doinst.sh" script in order to have
dependency checks capability whenever we want to create our own slackware package.
anyone who have tried this before? coz on Cygwin, packages are installed using bzip/tar
but a post-installation script can be executed and can be used to perform minor dependency
checks. the only problem with this approach is that the package have already been installed
before knowing that it shouldn't be. =)
