Distributions quote of the week

[Posted January 29, 2025 by jzb]

Today it is my honor to inform you that https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1240106 was accepted, so only 5 years after it became EOL, python2 is finally gone and not used anymore for anything in openSUSE.

This quote, along with the story about Go and vendoring and distribution tools, leads me to wonder--since I don't know any release configuration managers, nor distribution packagers--how much architectural thought is being given to the choice of tools which are used to build packages for distributions themselves.
