> IMHO, Installation/uninstallation TeX packages is not a _daily_ job. So I guess you install a TeX system and the packages you want, and then basically do not change it until there is a major system upgrade (the whole operating system or a major change in TeX)? IMHO, upgrading, installing new packages should be made as easy as possible. But again, perhaps I'm too used to packages beeing updated all the time, and TeX systems are a different kind of software. But I still think a more standardized way of handling packages would be great, like it is done in PERL (perl Makefile.pl && make && make install IIRC) or with almost all Linux apps (./configure && make && make install) Installing new packages should be fairly straightforward without having to read a lot of READMES (oh, I just admitted that I'm lazy)
