Apple are in the position of having full control over their platform and thus they're able to seamlessly work out separation of base system and applications with regards to the various quirks (API/ABI stability, symbol versioning, etc.) that are inherent in contemporary dynamic linking. Some distributions have tried a similar approach. PC-BSD has the PBI format. Slax uses compressed file system images for packages. There's solutions like 0install (and tons of predecessors) that have tried to do it. None have really caught on. |
