My anecdotal experience is that it briefly gets better, then much worse. Build scripts downloading tarballs from dead URLs and dependencies on unspecified versions of libraries that have since had breaking API changes are frequent issues.

…it’s still awesome that people put in the effort to do these things at all, but the tools often have a tendency to make me feel like an archaeologist trying to piece what ancient artifacts are missing and how they were supposed to all fit together.
