If one can&#x27;t build a server app from source then one shouldn&#x27;t be connecting it to the internet all by oneself. There are any number of companies who are happy to host WordPress for reasonable fees. Keeping software updated is hard work, and those who do it for free will keep their own schedules. I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s frustrating to maintain a package that&#x27;s &quot;in the middle&quot;: too popular to just say &quot;install with pip&quot;, not enough volunteers to maintain the Debian package in-house. Perhaps that means that Debian is too accepting of packages. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s an indictment of the idea of a package manager. I also doubt that lots more free labor will appear now that there is yet another new zipfile format to keep maintained.
