Scoop installs directly from the first-party source, so you only need to write a package once per app, instead of once per version of each app. Are there any distros that work like that?
For example I see that Scoop runs best with "portable" apps and links directly to those third-party binary web resources. But what does the Scoop ecosystem do about third-party platforms that require special compile-time flags? Typically that's where a third-party repo maintainer would come in.
