Trip package manager

[Walter Barnes]

Hello all,

I just finished LFS 6.2 working through the book without deviation to learn the process and now I need to work through it again making a few adjustments to create a more permanent set up.

One thing I need is a package manager. I found the hint package_management_using_trip.txt and would like to try it out but the URL is no good (The domain name seems to have expired). Does anyone know where I can find the shell scripts and any needed config files?

Thanks in advance,
Walter

If you're willing to consider an alternative...

Different package managers appeal to different sysadmins. I found one called "git", (the Guarded Installation Tool by Ingo Bruekl, not Linus' "git") works very well for me. The thing I especially like about it is, it helps me but doesn't fight with me and put me in a "Procrustean Bed". I can make minor adjustments to an installed package and fix it up in git without having to redo everything. No complex spec files to work out like RPM. If you can't find it, or want my version with some improvements, I can send it to you--it's one script (a thousand line script more or less, but still one easy to handle script).

I did find the script at this place.
