Around 03:28am on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 (UK time), Reindl Harald scrawled:
sorry i can not resist, but i have never heard such a foolish
statement
like "i want to break my package-managment"
You haven't been exposed to many foolish statements then.
For what its worth, there are a couple of programs that are installed by
yum as default in Fedora that I always select to not install and then
manually install myself. My reasons for doing this include keeping my
hand in at manual installation and making sure I have the latest version
(not that they change often).
I also install a number of programs I have written that way, too.
If someone wants to do this, I think that it is a good way of learning a
bit more about *computers* and certainly not something to be disparaged.
Some of us enjoy messing about with our PCs.
Having said all that, OP: where did you get your tarfile from?
