When you do a `yum install` or `apt-get install` you get some precompiled assets. I have not seen anybody use that for distribution websites. You can read here

You can read here about facebook problems on Wikipedia:

"and it involved a specific time- and resource-consuming deployment process that required a bigger than 1 GB binary to be compiled and distributed to many servers in short order"
What do you use? :)
- dozzie 11y agoYou were talking about applications in general, I assumed. The world doesn't end on websites. And even then, people rarely deploy two or three versions of the same website on the same machine, and thus, distributing its code as packages gives all the benefits of a package system. Regarding Facebook, their problems didn't originate from HPHPc producing a binary. Their problems came from ridiculous size of the resulting binary and HPHPc having a subpar support for PHP.
