First rule of C package managers on Linux: "wrap distro package manager or GTFO". This doesn't seem to abide by that, at least from scrolling through the FAQ. I might've missed something though.

Coincidentally, distro packages are reproducible for good distros these days.

Using Linux since Slackware 2.0 in 1995, which rule?

What if you want a library that isn't available in every distro? Or a specific version of a library?

I don't think anyone follows your "rule" because it would be such a mess.

The problem of packages not being packaged is not solved by more packaging systems.

What if you want a library that isn't available in every distro? Or a specific version of a library?

Then your wrapper builds a native package for that first. After all it is building a native package for your application next, why would it be unable to also build a package for that library?

I don't think anyone follows your "rule" because it would be such a mess.

Everyone offering distro repos is building packages like that, and that's a lot of projects.
