Hello,
I have a question. I normally use
apt-get install <package>
to install any package on my system. Now I have seen how you can use
apt-get source <package>
and then compile it own your own machine. Now what I was wondering,
is there an advantage to doing this? If so, what is it, and how much
of an advantage is it. Also, is there a script of a program that will
run an update, see which packages I need updated, download them, build
them, and then install them? If there isn't maybe I will start a
project that will accoomplish this.
Looking forward to your answers,
Erik
