My package installer will help you determine the contents of a package that you are installing. If you don't like what you installed, you can un-install it too. Written explicitly for an x86_64 multilib CLFS "Bender" version system, I use it on ix86 CLFS systems as well. I have also begun to add support for Slamd64 and, by extension, Slackware now that Slamd64 is multilib. Sorta like the Vulcans making contact with us once they detect we have warp technology. You can download PackManUtil from it's website.

Who Is This Weibullguy?

Weibull - continuous distribution of a random variable proposed by Wallodi Weibull. Guy - male of the human species.

Me - Electrical Engineer undergraduate, Statistics graduate, work as a Reliability/Safety engineer at an aerospace/defense company. Previously worked as the same at a commercial nuclear plant. Current interests include repairable systems analysis, Kijima Type I and Type II models, and system optimization under imperfect repair.

I analyze failure and repair data to estimate parameters of the distribution(s) describing system and component failure times. This is often refered to as Weibull analysis (although there are many other distributions used). Hence, Weibullguy. Now you know.

In response to a post I saw on one of the mailing lists, "I don't have a clue who all the devs at CBLFS are. They all use some stage-names." Here is my abbreviated resume, none of which actually qualifies me as a software developer. Consider that the grain of salt with which to take my entries.
