(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Thus we keep headers and "libraries" somewhere in the personal folder (/home/gregorynyssa for instance) of that user. Moreover there is no need to standardize the names "lib" or "include" or whatever. It should be possible to name the sub-folders anything.

(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Moreover, the man-pages of BSD give examples whereas those of Linux usually do not.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) For every assertion made in a man-page two things must be clear: (1) by whose authority/authorship? (2) since when?
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Unlike Linux (but more similar to BSD), every man-page (especially under Sections 1 and 8) must contain the version-number of the program, the date of release, and the name of the author.

(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Also, Sections 2–7 of man(1) under my Linux distribution are edited, bundled, and curated as a single file, whereas Sections 1 and 8 are bulit into particular executables as described above.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Aside from providing more information, the advantage of the man(1) system lies in the TUI controls (like the less(1) program by GNU) and searching features.

(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) If the man-page is present then it is extracted and displayed.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) When man(1) is used to search for a man-page belonging to Section 1 or Section 8, it simply locates the file of that name in /bin (and in /sbin, but I would merge the two folders), treating it as a file-bundle (that is, as a tarball) and peering inside to see whether there is a man-page.

(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) There is no /lib, nor /usr/lib, nor /usr/include. These are all artifacts of self-hosting.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) The term "oblative" basically means "sideloading." The distribution assumes the existence of a second machine which will cross-compile programs for the present machine.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Self-hosting will still be possible, but compilation is viewed as the private activity of a particular user of that system, not as a systemic operation.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) The Linux distribution which I have been constructing is an "oblative" distribution. What that means is, it is designed without the goal or presumption of self-hosting.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Many FOSS projects embody this broken paradigm. For instance, MariaDB does not provide a manual because its aim is to be compatible with MySQL. The users of MariaDB are therefore expected to go to MySQL for documentation.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Linux was built with the assumption that the team would not need to provide documentation, because Linux would be POSIX-compliant and when people have questions they should just go to POSIX for help.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Linux was built with the following philosophy: you should not write programs for Linux; you should write programs for GCC, and the fact that those programs run on the Linux kernel should be treated as an implementation-detail.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) However, the project was based on some flawed and underhanded presumptions from the very start.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) I believe that the Linux kernel has some value owing to the sheer number of man-hours of revision and refinement which have been expent (the JVM is in a similar situation, though others here may disagree).

(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2025-01-29#1034729 << Another sad draw-back in my mind.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) That is, the author of the software still presumes a sparsive installation-model, though in most cases there would probably be no naming clash if you placed all files in a single folder.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2025-01-29#1034726 << The path-related options of ./configure are decent, but one possible detraction is that the package still expects the replacements of /usr/bin, /usr/share, and so forth to be separate folders.
(pest) dulapbot: Logged on 2025-01-29 01:30:11 discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) One of them is the curse of hardcoded paths. Many if not most executables expect certain files to be in certain places. In the more fortunate instances, these locations can be overriden with a command-line option, but even then, I would argue that paths should not be hardcoded.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) It may be tedious to specify every parametric path for every invocation, but I would contend that it is the shell's reponsibility to relieve that burden (having shell-functions, shell-scripts, and the "alias" feature already goes a long way, but of course the shell might do even better).
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Even under Plan 9 this rule should not be relaxed. Rather, the use of parametric paths and per-process namespaces would complement each other.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) An executable should be viewed as a transformer between two states of the filesystem. All paths which the executable deals with should be chosen at invocation because they represent the parameters of the transformation.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) One of them is the curse of hardcoded paths. Many if not most executables expect certain files to be in certain places. In the more fortunate instances, these locations can be overriden with a command-line option, but even then, I would argue that paths should not be hardcoded.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) There are at least three reasons (based on my research) that sparsive packaging is the overwhelming practice within the ecosystem of Linux.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) Basically when you install a package (whether or not you compiled it yourself) the one-or-more executable files are placed in one location, and then the various supporting files are placed in various locations.
(pest) discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (gregorynyssa) http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2025-01-26#1034703 << The phenomenon which you and I dislike might be referred to as "sparsive packaging." The term "sparsive" means "scattering."
