No.. package managers / GitHub is the play here.
- jbigelow76 7y agoNo.. package managers / GitHub is the play here. So MS is attempting to extinguish GitHub, a property they own, now? Or is MS embracing blah blah blah the concept of package management?

- lugg 7y agoWhy would anyone say this? No.. they buy GitHub so they own pretty much most of open source software. Embrace. Then they release a new package registry, one to rule them all, it supports all the things. Extend. Extinguish, I don't know, that's why I asked the question, I don't know what the play here is. Is it simply they now fully control distribution? This doesn't sound like an issue until we're 10 years down the line and nobody creates package managers anymore. Nobody mirrors Linux, and everything has to go through GitHub. Like I would think this is my own bias, and it certainly sounds tinfoil hattish to even me, but then I haven't forgotten those memos. Have you?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoPackage managers have their own servers so I am pretty sure that wont be happening. As for GitHub I have a feeling Microsoft is burning money on GitHub without too much expected back outside of meeting their goals to empower devs.
