Yup, and I vendor a good number dependencies and distribute source for this reason. That and because distributing libs via package managers kinda stinks too, it's a lot of work. Id rather my users just download a tarball from my website and build everything local.
- skydhash 2y agoI don't think that users expect developers to maintain packages for every distro. I had to compile ffmpeg lately for a debian installation and it went without an hitch. Yes, the average user is far away from compiling packages, but they're also far away from random distributions.
