Comment on Why developers should care about system packagesparent

Comments

I've created hundreds of packages for OpenBSD and you just seem pretty gullible about the whole process.

You can't just write about the packaging process and hope people come forward to volunteer to do the actual work. There's a large amount of thankless sweat equity when you provide packages. People whine when things are broken and rarely send praise when it just works as it should.

If you really want to change the world, start with creating a Ruby apt repository for Debian/Ubuntu/whatever you use that people can actually deploy in production.
