That's what you get from users when you try to be nice and don't invent your own package manager.
- girvo 8y agoSure, but the signal from nearly every other camp at this point is that package management (especially for combined native dependencies and scripting deps) isn’t a solved problem. Do I wish everyone used their distro package manager? Yes. Do I wish there was one package manager? Yes. Do I develop with Nix myself? You bet. But I fear that this sort of quixotic battle has already been lost; frankly I don’t blame people for finding it a confusing mess. Unless I misunderstood your comment, in which case I apologise!
- solarkraft 8y agoThe trend goes pretty clearly towards a package manager per platform (programming language). This does become hairy when you try to inter-operate, but for development, at least, it seems to work quite well.
