Writing a package manager is not one of the most common programming tasks. After all, there are many out-of-the-box ones available.

These copy-pasted one-liners aren't useful. Skip them.

Imagine what'd we be using for package management today if package manager >= #2 author said "you know what, one already exists".

This is the package manager paradox. The problem is multiple package managers but to address it we build more package managers.

I think we'd all be using 'tar'.
