LOL. It's the other way 'round: I'm using GNU/Linux because I'm lazy.
Solve things once, make a script and be done with it.
That's 3 steps to much :)
Are Linux users becoming that lazy ? :-) With git
it's also easy to keep more than one repo: fi. a private with
all the small changes and a public where you only push out releases.
I don't think that my provider (hosteurope) provides a git server. As for the
'sudo make install' - I'm quite reluctant to run that
command.
I can't help to spot some contradition there. You would not trust
'sudo make install', even if you can verify very easily what it's
going to do (just a few lines in the Makefile). But you would trust
a single-command, almost automatic update ? This can do whatever it
wants with your system, even if going through a managed package,
and it's less easy to verify.
Packaging happens with 'fakeroot', but yeah you have a point there.
However my motivation for bringing all this up in the first place was
not about trust but about convenience.
I do trust your code and even trust you with my door-key.
Are you hinting I should be more careful in the future with installing
your software? 8-)
Anyhow, if there's not going to be a public git or svn repo I'll just
extend my download/compile/package/install script. Actually less work
than typing this email..
Cheers!
