Packages are easier to use; often there are build dependencies that aren't run dependencies, and packages can restrict themselves to the latter. It's also much easier to build once, and install many times (which becomes more obvious the older the hardware you're installing on is). Given limited resources, what should be focused on? Making the easy way more reliable, more trustworthy, etc. seems like the most bang for the buck to me. > I just got this mailer working, not sure if this reads as ascii or html, > if it's html, sending me a comment on it will get me to fix it.
