Debian Discusses Vendoring yet Again
If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm
- Fpm – Packaging Made Simple
- PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
- Makefile to .deb

Been adding a little more polish to my Battle Network/ Smash bros inspired game.
The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Zrok: open-source peer to peer sharing with ability to selfhost
There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

What's the deal with Slackware?
I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.

Blame & Complexity – Prioritizing Impact with Joe Nuspl
Joe: Yeah. And so several years ago, Chef came up with the idea of the Omnibus, so they have where it's a self-contained...it contains the Ruby, and everything is embedded within it. So it's just an RPM; there are no other dependencies. That was such a breath of fresh air because you weren't having to manage this. And so it's like, we're updating Chef, but then we also have to update Ruby and conjunctions of doing that. It just became a thing to update.
What are some alternatives?
