pick and why?

thanks,

Since we're talking about packages.. Me and a couple of guys have
started a new project called Packware. We are preparing a building
system for Slackware packages. It works quite fine as for now.
It builds .tgz packages from scratch: downloads sources from the net,
configures, compiles and bundles into tgz.

http://packware.intersec.pl/

First step is to download a pwbuilder package and install it.
Then you can checkout .pwbuild files from public cvs. One steps
into desired directory (eg. pwbuild/httpd/), runs pwbuilder
and voila: there should be a package in the same directory as
.pwbuild file.
It saved me a lot of time when setting up a server in my company.
Especially when I had to try different compile options..

I know that there are lots of packaging systems for Slackware (ie.
swaret) but give this one a try. Might be worth it..

Regards

True, but MANY companies and organizations are still using 7.1, 7.2, 
7.3.  I've got several pieces of third-party software that I've only got 
binaries for that will only work with RedHat 7.2 and 7.3.  I'd love to 
update those libraries to RedHat 9 (soon to be 10) but can't.

On all of my own stuff I've updated to RedHat 9 but on third-party 
software you have to wait until they get around to doing that.

At any rate, I'm still supporting RedHat 7.X with my RPM packages with 
all the same Subversion features as on RedHat 9 so hopefully that will 
help people out.

Not a guru :)
I think that svn doesn't rely that hard on 'distribution'
but more on services it provides.
Lately on this list there was a lightweight discussion why to change
apache from 2.0.47 to 2.0.48.. And since 2.0.48 contains lotsa fixes
even collab.net switched already :)

So I think, that if you can provide new apache, ssh and others - 
distribution has no means.. but that's only my point of view.
And, btw.. 7.3 is quite old one :)
