Re: [dev] [mkpkg] a suckless package manager

Yo you should check slpm before arguing ;) i also recommend u to try pkgsrc. Its all done by makefiles. Kinda more complex than mkpkg, but farly better than the gnu build system. mkpkg should define some vars like WGET HG and others to support other commands..bsd systems does not have wget for

[dev] flo - a command line program for organizing events, to-dos, and deadlines

I have been working on a program that makes it easy to keep myself, and perhaps others, in check. It’s inspired by suckless. I now consider it stable enough to share it with you. flo accepts a syntax like “.tag what,from-to”. All fields except what are optional. The program usually starts between

I guess the suckless website itself has tons of example code just lying around. Surf's pretty easy to wrap your head around. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad for a beginner to start playing around with. >On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 06:20:17PM -0400, Brandon LaRocque wrote: > This is a pretty easy q

Your idea is simpler and closer to gnu package system or pkgsrc. But without reusing code. Which means that you have to specify the full compilation rules for every pkg, this is also an issue if you plan to use other tools like wget/ftp/.. And imho keeping track of files and having support to re
