LWN’s recent article on Kubernetes in
Debian discussed the challenges of packaging a massive project with
hundreds of dependencies. Many of the issues that arose there, however,
are not limited to such projects, as can be seen in the ongoing discussion
about whether a copy of the relatively small libbpf library should be shipped
with the iproute2
collection of networking tools. Fast-moving projects, it would seem,
continue to feel limited by the restrictions imposed by the Linux
distribution model.
