don't want, they don't need it to be on their front of line array. So they want their documentation or whatever it is in the user local man or whatever, and not in user man or whatever. So there are variations in systems. And if the person who invented their own build system happened not to recognize that when building their own build system, then suddenly the packager has to patch stuff out or patch stuff in, whatever direction the problem is happening. And that takes time. It takes a mental, you have to shift gears as it were. You have to kind of go from, okay, I'm processing packages automatically to, okay, now I get to turn into a part-time sort of programmer and come up with a shell script or something similar to correct these errors so that it works on my system. And that's just one packager for one distribution. Another packager for another distribution is going to have to go through the same thing. And yeah, they can, they might be able to trade information, borrow from each (11/54)
