Dependencies:
Old ass library version from 2004
apt/dnf/pacman: package not found
library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version
App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity
Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library
Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies
How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year
It worked on their machine
They have old/orphaned dependencies on their machine. It’s hanging on a by thread. They have no idea the packages have disappeared years ago. The house of cards is a bit flip away from collapsing.
Hahah I say this all the time.
Why docker was created be like
Does docker solve this problem?
Why even use releases? Everyone can build everything for themselves. ‘Normal Users’ are just lazy, everyone wants to know how every piece of software is built for their system, it’s not like they have other stuff to do.
I thought that was what Gentoo was doing, but they have far more binary packages nowadays than I thought they’d ever get.
llvm, clang are packages I give 0 fucks about, but take a significant part of my updates. I never really got around to it, but I will try to make them binary downloads instead of building that shit. Like I understand gcc, but have 0 interest in llvm, and can’t have firefox without it… smh
Hey, get your Gentoo propaganda out of here.

Casual Linux things that get normal people running from the os in fear.
There’s so much wrong with this question.
- things people ‘must’ have are usually worthless junk like ‘dark mode’.
- updates people want in mainstream can sometimes break compatibility with no “just make it work” switch to disable the breakage. When this isn’t a red flag, that makes me sad and worried for the idiot in front of me.
- and then I’m no longer tolerant of the indolent writing error in the sentence.
Really, it’s a combination of all three of those things, and more, that prevent the incrementing of the one number in the git project that would invoke the package run and drop a new package in about 2 minutes. It’s so hard.
