It isn't. Except it is. > apt-get --build source package=5Fname That doesn't update from sources, that just builds a package. You're still stuck updating from packages. Further, like the rpm command, this doesn't deal with dependencies, other than to complain if they aren't met. This means that using it to deal with sources is about as pleasant as using rpm to install binary packages. Further, there doesn't appear to be anything like make.conf to make it easy to tailor the build process to meet the users requirements. =09<mike --=20 Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org>=09=09http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more informatio= n.
