Then = you can install it directly from the sources and it=92ll be the same, = i.e. you will not benefit from aport. Overwriting binaries managed by = apk is really not a good practice IMO. I agree with this. I=92m hardly an Alpine power user and had to change = mdev.conf a few times as well. User recompilation of package manager-provided = binaries, which also requires the ton of dependencies a compiler brings in and any dependencies smdev itself has, on a binary distro is simply a not done = for me. - Shiz= --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
