Please direct all complaints regarding this post to the nearest brick wallHave a nice day.
what i mean to say is can i use a tar.gz like a rpm? with a rpm i could update it or uninstall it with one command, but then im relaying on redhat and not all software is a rpm, but almost everything is a tar.gz. can i use a tar-ball like a package? how was it done before packages?
no one remembers software before packages?
it they were xxxx.tar.gz, simply go into the directory and do:
make uninstall
that simple =)
