<PRE>Le vendredi 01 juillet 2011 &#224; 09:48 -0400, andre999 a &#233;crit :

&gt;<i> I was thinking that developers tend to have _some_ experience packaging their 
</I>&gt;<i> own software - and certainly not usually for many distros.
</I>
Unfortunately, they don't. 

Look at the various php web software and how they tend to be happy with
the approach of &quot;let's untar everything in one folder where the web
server can write and read&quot;, or the tendency to bundle every possible
java software in the sun in the same tarball, thus making proper version
tracking a nightmare. Or ruby developers who just say &quot;use gem install
bundle&quot;.

Developers are usually far away from the preoccupation of packagers, and
from the complexity that is required for stuff like unified and
centralized deployment, upgrading, integration, etc.
