There's no reason that they need to come from the developers. I'm maintaining over a dozen packages that build directly from HEAD that are all integrated with my package manager and allows anyone else to leverage my work and get my packages.
Nix is the package manager that does this. It literally does damn near everything that comes out of every HN discussion of package managers, ever, but very few seem to bother investigating it.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThere's several reasons for that, like it still means building from source, or that nix is basically its own programming language you have to learn. Also, if I understand how nix works correctly, it still can't create portable applications.
