Excellent point. Is it too much to hope that Apple will base its app system software distribution on apt?

- cwg 16y agoYes. (They already have rolled their own, why would they switch to apt?)
- bbatsell 16y agoYes.
- e1ven 16y agoApt is, at it's core, a dependency engine. These apps have no dependencies- It's the whole app package. Also- Why wouldn't they base it on the already successful package distribution platform they have for iOS devices? In short, yes.
- acon 16y agoNo need to use apt. Apt is great for handling dependencies, but when it comes to mac apps there are just two parts: OS X and the app. No dependencies between apps and no dependencies on libraries not part of the OS. Nice and simple.
