In addition, I do a "system install" to a tree other than the one used by the system package manager (on most systems, this is /usr/local). So, I usually pick something like /opt or ~/local (for my $PREFIX). And since it can get tedious doing this often (which is implied by "rolling release", right? :), I have script that does it all: from download to build to install. -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
