My recent build of Qsnake

[Sameer Regmi]

My build of Qsnake from the latest git failed due to autoconf and
libtool not being already installed in my Ubuntu (Mint, actually).
I installed them and then Qsnake is building ok so far. I don't know
how much time it will take.

Ah, thanks. I have put it into dependencies into README.

Yeah, I see. I think I made a mistake with curl to depend on the
autoconfs. I will try to generate the ./configure scripts directly. I
think that autoconf is supposed to only be needed for development, not
production.

Btw, I am working on a solid rewrite of the package handling ---
implementing isolated environments and caching the builds, so that you
will be able to *quickly* create an environment with let's say only
"python + numpy" (even particular versions), as long as you built them
once. You can follow my progress in my branch here:

https://github.com/certik/qsnake/tree/rem

things like removal of packages will also be implemented. I will
announce it here once I have it ready for testing.

How are you satisfied with Mint?

That's very nice to know.

Being unhappy with unity I switched to Linux Mint11 but I use xfce
since it is faster. I didn't like the recent release Mint12
(especially due to the new gnome3), so I am still using Mint 11 with
Xfce, and I like it so far.
