Just like the large number of conflicting instructions for building iptables
firewall, none of which got it how to write a set of rules and instead
focuses on how to write a set of commands. One just needs to apply common
sense instead of blindly follow somebody's recipe.
But why not just use the introduction from the official documentation?

- justinsb 11y agoI find that introduction is intended for people packaging software that other people have written, where upstream creates a tarball. What FPM nails is the use-case where a developer wants to package their own software. Obviously I could take on the role of upstream, publish .tar.gz files, and then take on the role of packager and consume those, but I think you can understand at that point why FPM looks so attractive! You obviously know this area well: a link to software you have written and packaged would be greatly appreciated.
