You are not wrong. Part of this is because Keith Packard spent a few years at Intel teaching corporate structures how you upstream a driver for Linux into X11 (at the time) and Mesa:

The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake
Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.

I mean yes if you're going to be serious about building a binary repository then higher-level tools like reprepro to track packages and their versions in different suites so that you get auto cleanup of old versions and easy metadata signatures are definitely useful, but they're absolutely not required.

A deb/rpm repository isn't much more than that. You dump packages in a directory and run a single command to extract the metadata into an index file. 'createrepo' or its C reimplementation for rpm, 'dpkg-scanpackages' for deb. That's all that's *required*. You then export said directory over http or mount it and you can install these packages with all the dependency tracking.

Well, kind of, what totally put me off COBOL though is its verbosity.
No, 'a = b+2'. In COBOL, you say 'ADD 2 TO b GIVING a'.
No, 'a = b', either. Instead, you say 'MOVE b TO an
Etc etc etc, the list goes on. I mean, if I want to write a novel, I'll use English rather than COBOL, thank you.

You can drop the 'personally' part in that last sentence. Not only were you not alone in that, I have yet to find a person who *is* able to tell them apart without looking up the details, myself included.

Took me a while to recognise it as a rabbit. I thought it was a very weird dog, at first 😂

OOI, how many command line options to curl have ever been removed? If you keep that statistic, of course.
