Sure, then you're essentially back to manual dependency management though and I don't want to waste my or my users time with that.

  Not necessarily, you can have packages and automatic dependencies using yum or apt?

    How would you install two different versions of the same package using apt?
    - makapuf 5y ago
      apt install python3.10 python3.8 ? If packaged, those can be installed alongside. Or libsdl1.2 and libsdl2 by example.
