I would suggest, if you want to be able to have the benefits of RPMs without the muss and fuss, get checkinstall (freshmeat, some other places) and use it to make RPMs of binaries created with the make/make install process. I wouldn't depend on them redistributable. But it certainly makes management of installed programs easier to deal with, and you won't have to wait for somebody else to create an RPM just to install something that can easily be cleaned up. In addition, there's no need to keep the source tree around just to uninstall the files.
There are a few (very few) instances when this won't work either. But it works in enough, and it's so simple to work with, it's certainly worth a test drive. $ OK just uninstall soft from a not proper and huge installation... $ First one. -- If at first you don't succeed, get a job with Microsoft. $ Thank$, really plea$sed... _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
