Same here.

That's what I wrote: "native package managers should install binaries in /usr/[s]bin and libraries under /usr"
"native" as in: provided by the distribution. Not third party.
https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/80 https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/80 is about using /opt/nimble and you wrote "If you implement that, you instantaneously take away the ability to deploy applications through OS's automated deployment", hence the confusion.
- Annatar 8y ago""native" as in: provided by the distribution. Not third party." It was a misunderstanding then: I thought native meant the packaging format native to the OS, not packages which come with the OS (bundled software). Issue 80 from what I understood is about nimble, a packaging format proprietary to one programming language, providing system wide installation capability; this would indeed preclude using native provisioning technologies because those use the OS's native packaging format and hence know nothing of "nimble".
