And when your distro doesn't update? When the distro is slow to change?
Flatpak, Appimage, Snaps (why?)... upstream devs are bypassing distro maintainers in a lot of cases.
- palata 3y agoI am not saying that they solve all problems in the world. I am just saying that they have merits. In your particular example, if you are not happy with your distro, you are free to find another one. Some distros are extremely fast to change. > upstream devs are bypassing distro maintainers in a lot of cases IMO, for open source projects, upstream devs should not distribute their library. They should let package maintainers do it for their distro.
- forgotmyinfo 3y agoThen there's probably a reason, like the changes haven't been tested yet or verified to make sure they don't FUBAR your machine. It's okay to go a little slower to ensure reliability. Plus, do you really want the latest bugs in HEAD anyway?
