apt-get, emerge, yum, ports, they're all hateful.
GenericUnixPrompt> yum install foobar
Sorry, I can't find that package.
What? I can't just use the generic name by which *everybody* calls it to
get the latest and greatest? No no nooooo! I have to search through the
database to find the *exact* version string you compare against.
GenericUnixPrompt> yum install foobard-stable-4.3.2.4.x86.bin
That is, if I bothered to keep the package databases up-to-date. For
instance:
GenericGentooPrompt> emerge foobar
Sorry, you neglected to update emerge in the past 20 minutes. Please
upgrade emerge.
GenericGentooPromp> emerge update emerge
Sorry, I can't find any repositories for your decripit, ancient and
otherwise unsupported version from 2 days ago. What? You neglected
to emerge for more than 20 minutes? Muahahahahahahahahaha!
Sucka!!!!!!!! l10o0o0o0o0o0o0o053r!!!!!!!!
Hate.
-spc (pure unadulterated hate for package managers, only exceeded by the
blinding hate for dependancy hell nowadays)
