Sure but its not different/weird. I've used rpm for a long time, using nix was more, oh ok so rpm type flags no big deal.

- mitchty 10y agoSure, now, but was that the case 10 years ago? I'm not arguing its the best choice but more that you need to take into account the age of things. Being exposed to it just now doesn't mean it was created in that situation. I'd say 10 years ago rpm based distributions were the more dominant and emulating rpm was a fine choice.
