Stow is definitely still useful. I'm aware of two universities that use it internally for package management on large numbers of POSIX-ish systems, and I maintain a GNU/Linux distribution that uses it for package management (GARStow, which was the basis for GSRC). Something like Guix is the right way to go if you're designing a new system from scratch, but Stow is very effective for simple package management inside an existing system. -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> <http://offog.org/>
