And to hopefully put an end to the discussion, the current no-package-management-tool situation is akin to the windows world where there are thousands of installers (.cab, .exe, .zip, etc) for each of the available applications.
Where we want to get is to the Linux world that have a pair of standardized tools to do *proper* package management that upload a given installation by updating all the appropriate packages and solving the dependencies and conflicts that may occur. This for example, permits to upgrade a debian installation between major releases without need to reinstall everything each time. In this order of ideas, Pharo Debian(deb based) Fedora (rpm based) Metacello aptitude yum Gofer dpkg rpm Monticello .deb package .rpm package SAR/changeset .tar.gz .tar.gz not exactly equivalent but roughly.
