I don't like "flat-out refuse". I don't "refuse" to package my apps for every distro any more than I "refuse" to do my neighbour's gardening.
I tried packaging for Debian once and after 2 days I have up -- I have neither the time or patience to do work for distros I don't use for free.
- _jal 6y agoYeah, there's more than a whiff of entitlement to that phrasing. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend looking at fpm for packaging. Unless you're doing something weird or need an obscure format, it is the tool you want. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

- johnchristopher 6y ago> Yeah, there's more than a whiff of entitlement to that phrasing. I have been thinking about that. I disagree. It's always nitpicking o'clock on HN and I specifically wrote "Some" and specifically wrote in brackets that I wasn't debating if it's either right or wrong. I agree that it should have been worded differently but the facts remains and that doesn't follow that there's “more than a whiff of entitlement“.
- CJefferson 6y agoI'm not clear what you mean then, to be honest. Anyone who isn't packaging their software is, effectively, flat-out refusing to package it. I don't really see how I, or anyone else, could "more" flat-out refuse.
- johnchristopher 6y agoThere's a spectrum. Some don't care, some refuse and some flat-out refuse. I dislike being accused of entitlement because I point that out.
