Hi again, i got a somewhat theoretical question: in /etc/apt/sources.list there is a destinction between deb abd deb-src packages. Are the deb-src packs "make'able" packages?
*** core question *** :^) But the question of interest: on nowadays PCs - assuming a "every user" system with e.g. X-Window w/ GNOME etc. - may there be a noticeable performance (e.g. > 5%-20%) between i386 binaries or optimized self-comiled apps? *** /core question *** :^) While using apt-get/dpkg only, in the past i nearly always used tarballs with app sources, but compiling made me crazy due to unmatched dependncies and sometimes broken packages. Anyhow, i am still addicted to do self-compiling. Btw.: assuming i only would use deb-src, will it get the source archives including all dependencies so that i can comfortably compile all the stuff myself? Hope for a discussion (will see it tomorrow, time to sleep *g). Thanx in advance & greetings, Timo
