Re: Installation Question! (A suggestion)


(sudo) tar -xjvf gfortran-sys_pakage.tar.bz2 -C /

That will mess with the system compiler, and interfere with package management. People who want to try the latest probably want to have it aside, for which the current packaging is great, I think


If we were to make system packages, we should be building RPMs or .deb, but that is for stable compilers, provided by vendors.

(why still .gz?)

Because it's more common that bz2, and I'm not sure that there is a lot to gain by bzip2'ing...
