It would make a lot more sense to use a package manager. You might find that Arch Linux's `pacman' provides everything that you need; it's really easy to define your own packages and build from source, allowing pacman to manage dependencies, locate which package owns which file, and upgrade/remove packages. I bet gentoo's `emerge' would also be viable. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
