Homebrew is quite an achievement, it grew in complexity over the years, yet remained reliable and kept a user-friendly interface.
It's also very simple to create packages, it took me less 30 min to learn how to create a package and to deploy it. In comparison last time I checked, creating deb packages is absurdly complex, and I usually just give up and provide a Bash file instead.
- _RPM 10y agoI find your statement laughable. Brew and Debian's package manager aren't even comparable.
- mikemcquaid 10y agoIt's easier to create packages for Homebrew but, as I'd be the first to admit, `apt-get` has far more advanced dependency management and resolution. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.
- laurent123456 10y agoapt-get has a wider scope but, in some cases, what it is needed for is to deploy a simple application, and there's no simple way to do that with Debian packages.
