After my first summary, lots more replies come in...and basically, more innovative ways to manage your software installation... - use depot or GNU stow to manage software installation - install software(s) in /usr/local/<package> or /opt/<package> create softlinks to /usr/local/bin or where the orignal installation supposed to be...don't forget any libraries if needed to. ie. /opt/apache1.3 (do ln -s) if you install apache2.0 then it goes to /opt/apache2.0 (unlink /opt/apache1.3 do appropriate soft link for 2.0) and remove /opt/apache1.3 if you don't need it (but it might be a good idea to keep around a bit longer in case 2.0 doesn't work out, and safe to relink /opt/apache1.3 and use it) Thanks to Ivan Fetch, Martin Schmitt, system administrator, Martynas Buozis, Thomas Anders, ed.rolison@itc.als, and Giardina Marina. - Mike _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Apr 17 11:01:50 2002
