There are probably some benefits to having a specialized tool that does not require extensive customization. At least the conversion from _foo to ~/.foo is done automagically with steve kemp's dotfile manager. So for example ,---- | rocinante:~ % ls -dF .dotfiles/*zsh* | .dotfiles/zsh/ .dotfiles/_zshenv `---- This links _zshenv into a dotfile, but not the directory zsh. Maybe you don't care about this feature, or even consider it a bug, but steve obviously wanted it. Stow is something like 300k installed, versus 9k for dotfile-manager. xstow I don't know feature wise, but is clearly more work to install (for people running some primitive system that is not Debian :) ). _______________________________________________ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
