nope, Arch build system is more lightweight, it's PKGBUILD is like ebuild just in BASH not Python, it's also made for binrary distribution in mind with possible easy rebuild by user, while on Gentoo as far as I know you *have* to build almost everything... I think there are so much similarities because both systems created their managers with FreeBSD ports in mind... at least this is approximated explanation :) cheers, Andrzej. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
