With that, let’s discuss the best-and worst-consumable gifts you can give this holiday season. You must take any dietary issues into consideration, because as jjdebenedictis says, “I have a load of dietary issues, and if someone gives me cookies, that’s a big ol’ sad for me, because I would like to eat them, but can’t.” (Don’t make jjdebenedictis sad!) A gift of alcohol should only be given, EdnasEdibles points out, “if you know that the person drinks, that they’re OK with their level of drinking and that they will actually drink what you’ve given them.” Otherwise you may be inadvertently sabotaging someone who is trying to reduce their alcohol consumption.Ģ. I asked Lifehacker readers for input as to which consumable gifts are good consumable gifts (and which aren’t), and you came to the comments with thoughts, opinions, suggestions, and some caveats that are important to note:ġ. Gifts of food or beverage, if thoughtfully chosen for the specific recipient, will always be welcomed, because not only do people need to eat, people often also do not need (or want) more stuff. I simply have never met the arrival of an assortment of brownies, biscotti, or fruit with anything other than delight. All i did was ask you to backup your statements with some information, SomeGuyDude is doing that so as i said there is no problem.Last week, I told you I am a proponent the Gift of Food for basically any occasion. We are proud to offer a lifetime of free updates and a great product thats always rapidly updated to support the new things Apple has in store for us. It's not like some arch users, post "switch to arch" as a solution to everything.oh wait they do. I asked him to backup his statement, he did (sort of, no actual details on the differences, yet), there is no trouble here.Ī certain camp of UF users gripe and *&^% about every thread turning into an Ubuntu versus Arch thread, and blame the Arch users here.and they CONSISTENTLY prove themselves right, Portage is the only one that i can think of but AFAIK it isn't used much for binary package management (although it can be)ĭude.what's the deal with attacking someone who uses Arch? He said nothing provocational. Sure it's not the only distro to streamline source installation, but it's the only one I know of that centrally handles it all. Or is it something you specify that then uses a subset of files from repos (something that you cant do easily in the debian build system AFAIK) You can create a makepkg file in pacman that will trackĭo you create a makepkg file for externally obtained sources (like creating a. Will pacman rebuild packages for you? (AFAIK apt-source will not do this) I don't have access to apt-get atm, so I cant RTM, but how is pacman tracking source pacakges in a pacman repo any different from apt tracking source in an a debian repo. I don't think you quite understand what I mean with Apt vs Pacman. You can create a makepkg file in pacman that will track updates and resolve all dependency issues, effectively turning everything into repo-level packaging. For GUI frontends (i quickly migrate to CLI for installing software, it just seams to be the correct interface for the job), I'm quite liking kpackagekit as used by fedora. Pacman lets you handle that with the ABS.Īpt is fine for source management its just nobody provides repos, but i believe (not on a deb based distro ATM) its apt-source or apt-get install-source is what you needĪs for uninstalling packages you've compiled, you just have to get used to doing checkmake (although it will not do dep management unless you enter the details manually), ofc if you are compiling lots of cross dependant programs ubuntu probably isn't the distro for you (if it is learn checkmake/ other deb building tools)įor backend tools, I am a real fan of apt as the others i've used just never seamed as fast (yum extensively and pacman briefly ), and I'm not the only one as apt has been ported to almost everything. But now it's hard to uninstall, doesn't take care of dependencies, doesn't update automatically. ![]() On Ubuntu, if you have software that isn't in a repo, you compile/install. As said above, the ability to turn any and all source code into dependency/update-handling packages is beautiful.
