  • yeah, these things are all trivial to compile.

    i suggest not dealing with things like MPR for this; just set --prefix=/opt or something similar when compiling the program, and install everything to /opt.

    in slackware this is very easy to deal with, as the package manager is extremely basic and basically just unpacks tarballs and logs its file list somewhere. ‘packages’ are just tarballs so you just compile anything with a prefix to a temporary dir, tarball that dir and install it with the ‘package manager’ to keep track of things. this is simple enough so you can do similarly on debian without switching distros or using slackware’s scripts
