Hmm, I tend to use a subdirectory for each package, which in turn includes the sources for the different versions. I tend to have the last couple of versions for all packages installed and putting them all in the same directory produces a bit too much clutter for my taste. This gives paths like vim/vim56, vim/vim57, modutils/modutils-2.3.11, etc. Wichert. -- _________________________________________________________________ / Generally uninteresting signature - ignore at your convenience \ | wichert@liacs.nl http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |
