You forgot a few steps..
0.1) Convince every single library author to open source their code.
0.2) Convince them to submit (and maintain) the package across all Linux distributions.
And many more..
Oh, and hope you don't depend on a specific package version, because you might run into dependency hell on Linux..
Everything is "easy" when you re-define the problems as non-problems for your particular use case.
- root_axis 8y agoHuh? If the project is forced to rely on a closed-source library then that's just an engineering reality, it has nothing to do with the OS you're using. Ironically, this is a non-issue with docker since you can base your image off of whatever distro you need.
- ksk 8y agoI'm not sure why you were confused. I just showed you a simple and common usecase where Linux deployment is not "trivial" as you boldly claimed. >Ironically, this is a non-issue with docker since you can base your image off of whatever distro you need. Maybe docker would help, but I do think suggesting docker in the comment thread of an article detailing how broken docker is is doubly ironical :^)
