Like many others, I use my own solution for automating what I need automated. The most appealing thing about slackbuilds.org is its ability to be done manually or scripted, and both are equal. I will always favour the manual method, in terms of design. Let the scripters adapt to the manual method; otherwise we run the risk of forcing people to unravel scripts in order to do things manually, and I don't care for that. I have not noticed any kind of failure with the tool chain, but I suspect that this is because I use my own tool chain and perhaps you are speaking of specific ones? -klaatu _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/
