Hisham ☛ There are two very different things called "package managers"
Earlier today, Ludovic Courtès asked these questions on Mastodon:
Are npm/crates.io just a different approach to distributing software, compared to GNU/Linux distros?Or is there something more fundamental about their approach, how it affects user/developer relations, and how if affects user autonomy?
My take on these questions is that to me there are two fundamental differences:
1) npm/crates.io/LuaRocks (language package managers) are package managers for programmers. They ship primarily modules/libraries; apt/rpm/etc (system package managers) are package managers for end-users. I don’t expect a non-programmer to ever use cargo but I expect a Ubuntu user to use apt (even if via a GUI).
