Linux doesn’t have “a package manager”, the distros each have a different one. Is there a tool that will generate a package for each district from a single input? How about testing them? It’s a bit easier now with docker but it’s good that a number of things have forked off of Debian in that you have at least a prayer of getting that package right and covering a lot of people.



Yes, each distro has its own repository with its own package manager.

Author should not package software, distro maintainers should.
