Then gentoo users may be happy with debian. Package: apt-build Priority: optional Section: devel Description: Frontend to apt to build, optimize and install packages This is an apt-get front-end for compiling software optimized for your architecture by creating a local repository with built packages. It can manage system upgrade too. Package: apt-src Priority: optional Section: admin Description: manage debian source packages apt-src is a command line interface for downloading, installing, upgrading, and tracking debian source packages. It makes source package management feel a lot like using apt to manage binary packages, and is being used as a testbed to work on adding source dependencies to Debian. . It can be run as a normal user, or as root. If you want a convenient way to track updates to packages while preserving your local modifications, this is a way to do that. -- - Joe Wreschnig <piman@sacredchao.net> - http://www.sacredchao.net "What I did was justified because I had a policy of my own...
