Coding mainly in C for 20 years, I've never had a program break on minor version of system shared library conflict. Occasionally need to recompile on OS version update when the major version increments.
- goodpoint 3y agoThat does not solve supply chain attacks.
- mid-kid 3y agoIt solves most supply chain attacks. Distro maintainers are users, not developers. They put the needs of a user first, and their work is reviewed during submission. If one of them goes rogue, the damage is usually caught before reaching the user and otherwise minimal, as the update is simply reverted by other maintainers and a different maintainer can take over their packages.
- goodpoint 3y agoSorry, I misread jjgreen's comment. I 100% agree with what you are saying.
- lmm 3y agoThe C community basically doesn't bother with libraries. They're so cumbersome to do in C that you'll tend to only have, like, 20 giant libraries in your (non-vendored) dependencies.
