Description
A thriving ecosystem is crucial for every kind of programming language or environment, and a large portion of it is the "batteries included" mindset, respectively reducing the friction of adding libraries.
Enter APMs - Application Package Managers.
From the distribution building point of view, this is a major problem. Reinvented processes time and again, reproducibility blockers, conflicting version dependencies, and many more sources of joy.
This does not propose any solution, because I don't know of one. Lets raise awareness for this, and hopefully gather some approaches so not everybody needs to figure it out in isolation.
