Comment building for open source applications (Score 1) 213
where would packages be build for people downloading packages in source, would that mean many people building the package for their system or multiple versions to cater for variations. What ideas do people think of for creating binary packages from source. Developers have a build environment to build and test their applications ... what about server setups and end users how do they use a suitable system. I know about rpm's requirements system which provides ways of making packages available. Would others please comment.
