CRUX is a beautifully elegant system but I think there is a LOT of room for improvement in the package management side of things.
The CRUX community has the makings of a STUNNING enterprise ready OS,... shouldn't we pursue this?
1. Binary package support means a lot more work in terms of quality assurance. Unless you want to pay the devs to work on CRUX full time, I don't see this happening. 2. Binary package support == dependency hell. This is why many people (myself included) choose to use a source based distro such as CRUX. IMHO the package system is fine, and shines in a networked environment. All you need is a build machine and provide nfs access to your packages, then all your other CRUX machines get the binary package support you desire. -- Lucas Hazel <lucas@die.net.au>
