Hi Miguel, hi Ryan

just had a look at sbopkg... that looks like a serious piece of work. My approach is a lot more "minimalistic" I guess...

I gather there is probably no real benefit from yet another tool (although I personally will probably stick to it, just for the fun of developing it, plus it's always easier to "fiddle" with self-written code.)

I will take a look at the ones you mentioned though, and compare. I like the idea of making it a slackbuild. If at some point it gets mature enough and provides added value compared to what's already available I'll certainly do that.

If other tools are known that where not mentioned so far please continue throwing the names at me so I can get a complete picture...

One thought I am getting while I am writing this is that such a list should actually be added to the FAQ. (Can't imagine this isn't a frequently asked question...)
