Having said that, everyone has their own reality... And using

"Why did tarballs fall out of grace?" Sorry for the following
...<br>
<br>
When you delegate all the difficult stuff to the maintainers,<br>
of whatever OS you're running on your hardware, so you can<br>
focus on doing, whatever you wanted your software to do.<br>
<br>
Me, I'm on slackware variants, and nobody supports that, so I<br>
have to change/patch all those packages going out to you<br>
lazy guys, expecting software coming updated, specially for<br>
your choice of hardware/OS combination.<br>
<br>
Pretty much all important software, running on my servers, I<br>
have made build scripts, to compile compliant install
packages,<br>
to install in the tool chain. Zenwalk not being maintained<br>
anymore, I'm moving my servers to Salix, going back to where<br>
I started. Slackware. There is no possible way to upgrade<br>
my old server/kernel with out sending someone to do it hands
on.<br>
<br>
So, Zenwalk is out, and Slackware is back in.<br>
<br>
Basically, what I'm saying. I'm not alone, being older than
40,<br>
maintaining servers that has been running for more than 1780<br>
days, without a single reboot. Patches/upgrades are done
online,<br>
on running production systems.<br>
<br>
And that's why tarballs are not in grace. They are used by the<br>
original linux distributions.<br>
<br>
This is my personal thinking, after a long night of hard
drinking,<br>
just stumbling, noticing that lead comment:<br>
<br>
"Why did tarballs fall out of grace?"<br>
<br>
Peace.<br>
