   Sorry for mixing in, I don't know what is it about, but... I have stopped using nasty package managers. After more than 16 years, I am never going to use them again in my life. The tremendous control I am getting by doing it myself, is not replaceable.
   
   I am now using slashpackage system by D. J. Bernstein: http://cr.yp.to/slashpackage.html which has similar adoption in GNU Guix system as /gnu simply, where all packages reside.
   
   And on top of /package/prog/GIMP system, I am using GNU Stow.https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/
   
   So those 2 systems, help me to keep ANY kind of software on my system, I can compile it myself and get the features I wish and want. Full control. Overall I know my system WAY BETTER than when I was using rpm, dpkg and aptitude. Nothing gets broken when I am doing upgrades, and the stability is best ever. If anything gets broken by installing new package, I can still revert back with the GNU stow in few seconds.
