Single binary executable packages
I&#x27;ve argued this stance once before, but I feel it needs reiterating on this topic: I for one am 100% convinced that whatever the (FOSS) software future has in store for the world MUST have strong support for dynamic linking.<p>If you look at something like `apt-cache show podman | grep ^Built-Using:` (Output: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;paste.debian.net&#x2F;plain&#x2F;1225449" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;paste.debian.net&#x2F;plain&#x2F;1225449</a>) on Debian 11, you will see why. Imagine a few of those components shared between tens of packages, and security problems discovered im some. It&#x27;s got to be any package maintainer&#x27;s worst nightmare. &quot;Traditional&quot; distros run by volunteers and in participation of small-ish companies will not be able to cope with that kind of need for rebuild churn - and yet they will live amongst us for many years, if not decades, to come.
