Re: [Evolution] Best Distribution to self compile master?

Hi Emre,

Arch Linux [1] is a rolling release providing binary packages with
latest stable versions from upstream. The packages are also available in
a FreeBSD port like way [2], IOW you easily can edit the so called
PKGBUILD and compile recent development versions.

[2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System

Those versions from git etc. might be available at AUR.

The mailing list:
https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-general

Note! If you post in HTML, top post, don't trim posts, ask dumb
questions or don't do serious research by yourself, you likely will get
banned from this list, at least you would be ignored. Nobody would
discuss top posting, HTML etc., you can't behave as people usually do on
*buntu mailing lists.


Arch Linux isn't *buntu, there is no installer that set up a complete
Linux user space with X and a desktop and applications.

Arch Linux does follow the KISS principle.

Don't use Manjaro or something that is based on Arch Linux.
