Dne 11.9.2015 v 23:09 Orion Poplawski napsal(a):What does Fedora users gain with "dnf install rails" or "dnf install ipython" versus "gem install rails" and "pip install ipython"?Easier installation of packages with binary extensions? RubyGems can't specify dependencies on system libraries, so for example "gem install nokogiri" may fail in case you don't have libxml2-devel installed. Unfortunately, most of the upstreams solve the user complains that they cannot install their favorite library due to missing dependencies (and be it just -devel package) by bundling, they'll bundle libxml2 (for example) into the package and the problem is solved. It is easier for them then to educate their users :/
and much more important:if Fedora changes to more and more recommend "pip", "gem" and "cpan" like installs instead RPM packages it is no longer a distribution over the long because that would mean finally you have a core OS and handle anything else like Microsoft or Apple - does anybody really want to go that road?
