为什么Linux开发人员不能创建通用的打包格式？

供应商二进制包格式选择似乎由墨菲定律的形式决定：您不使用的所有发行版都有包. (证据：不存在满足软件堆栈分布依赖性的分布).

这是一个政治问题,还是更深层次的问题,我们还没有看到“一次构建,随处运行”包格式的出现？

解决方法

在这个问题上引用 Joel Spolsky似乎是合适的：

(By the way,for those of you who
follow the arcane but
politically-charged world of blog
syndication feed formats,you can see
the same thing happening over there.
RSS became fragmented with several
different versions,inaccurate specs
and lots of political fighting,and
the attempt to clean everything up by
creating yet another format called
Atom has resulted in several different
versions of RSS plus one version of
Atom,inaccurate specs and lots of
political fighting. When you try to
unify two opposing forces by creating
a third alternative,you just end up
with three opposing forces. You
haven’t unified anything and you
haven’t really fixed anything.)

(重点补充)

你有(至少)两个Linux打包系统.这实际上是件好事.单个系统将简单地创建第三个系统.
