Do you think it's easier for end-users to update Python packages on their own, or just install the latest version of the app that they know about?

- drran 6y agoFor Linux, it's easier to just perform update. For half-developed OS'es, it's easier to download installer, then Next, Next, Agree, Next, No, Next, wait, Finish.
- young_unixer 6y agoThe irony being that in the fully developed OS I experience: - Outdated packages - Having to build from source when the package is not in the repos - Failed builds for no good reason - Unability to have many versions of that same packages - having to install log(n) build tools if I want to build n packages - etc while in half-developed OS'es everything just works (application-wise, at least)
- dragonwriter 6y agoSince either can be automated in the distributed software itself, I'd say they are both equally easy for the end-user, if the developer really cares.
