1) Putting everything in /usr/local is far less secure as that means its world writable (oh, my version of bash just overwrote yours, and I added some extra patches ;) ). If it's just in the user's home directory, it's all running as the same user, which is far FAR less secure, now you don't even need privilege escalation to access everything, it's already owned by the same user. Also good luck running anything on standard ports like that. As far as stability, anything that could realistically affect stability can't be installed or run as an unprivileged user anyways. All that being said, with yaourt and makepkg, you can do the same thing, I'm sure there's ways for other systems. Also userland doesn't mean what you think it means. 2 ) You have yet to show why that's a good thing, but https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=git so what? 3) makepkg has a really nice Bash DSL (probably lost on you) (and also a load of really nice docs) 4) You have indeed mentioned that everywhere, but don't seem to realize that generally software that can hang your "Linux distros on the next boot by doing a simple "apt-get update"" can't be installed or (directly) run as a non-privileged user. Have fun with your grub install in /home, let me know how that hangs on the next boot. Also I wasn't aware that updating a package list modified anything but the package list, but hey, if you say so. 5) If you Arrogant folks (can't even say mac folks, most are reasonable) had any sense of functionality (software or otherwise) to begin with, your OS wouldn't be primarily relegated to a status symbol, so the fact that you're one of the dozens of people repeating the same "we don't need to learn more than one shiny button" doesn't surprise me in the least, because you guys wouldn't recognize better functionality if it pulled up to you in a bus like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmYrWXhFf4c Sorry, got a little angry there, I dont hate mac folk, just arrogant folk from any camp and I recognize the appeal of and need for good design (which brew is not) |
