Yes, but you have no option but to build everything manually, I call it slackware style, while with a source based distribution it is more likely that there is actual support for bleeding edge packages. In Gentoo they're called "live" ebuilds; latest git is built and managed by the package manager. Dependencies are resolved. It's quite nice. > So I would think that all of those distributions (source-built or binary > based) are equally well equipped to build and use any of the osmocom > projects on them. Certainly when building everything manually, but that's really quite primitive. Source based distributions generally have more powerful package management tooling was my message, which I think is on topic. //Peter
