Re: [Trisquel-users] programming language package manager

[paradigmlift]

It is my understanding that many debian packages which rely on such  
mechanisms have their own debian packages for their dependencies, even when  
those dependencies are in other repositories.  I suppose however that if  
software packaged in Trisquel downloads dependencies from external repos that  
is an issue.

Of course, I'm not trying to minimize the importance of what you are pointing  
out... just saying that I think from the standpoint of the distribution it  
probably does not work exactly the same as just using gem, maven, cpan, or  
whatever
