Did you read the intro paragraph on the website?<p>&quot;As an application author, I want to provide packages for Linux desktop systems, without the need to get it &#x27;into&#x27; a distribution and without having to build for gazillions of different distributions.&quot;<p>So you are a developer. You don&#x27;t want to build gazillions of packages, but you want to target lots of users. Suppose you build a package for one distribution. Good luck convincing all your users to switch to that distribution.<p>I guess you are using Arch. Suppose the developer&#x27;s opinion is that Gentoo&#x27;s package manager is better, so he only bothers making a Gentoo package. He then tells you to switch to Arch if you want to use his app. Will you seriously do that?
