Camp KDE: Using Slackware to investigate KDE 4Camp KDE: Using Slackware to investigate KDE 4Posted Apr 7, 2011 23:41 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Camp KDE: Using Slackware to investigate KDE 4 by dag- Parent article: Camp KDE: Using Slackware to investigate KDE 4
the way most packaging systems work is that if you stay within the system, things work fairly well, but if you only partially work outside the system you end up working not only against the technical problem, but also against the packaging system itself.
so if you are straying too far from the base, it can be easier to work completely without the packaging system than trying to work around it all the time (and especially, preventing it from being "helpful" in ways that break your system)

Camp KDE: Using Slackware to investigate KDE 4 Posted Apr 8, 2011 0:31 UTC (Fri) by magila (subscriber, #49627) [Link] FWIW I've found that the Paludis package manager used with Exherbo/Gentoo is pretty good at allowing the kind of experimentation described in the article. In particular via the "cave import" command.
