I'd like to have a honorable mention of Archlinux here. Arguably, it has the easiest package management out there. To create a package you write a single PKGBUILD file with a few required fields (like pkgname, pkgver, etc) and a bash build script - that's it. Then you run "makepkg" and it's done. Take a look for yourself. This is a build script for tmux: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/tmux https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/t... If you know of an app which isn't available for Arch yet, I welcome you to give it a try and build a package. It's really easy. And for completeness - the package guidelines for Archlinux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standard...
