Anyway if you have some experiences in these, please share.
(Koha has paid developers too)
today a popular Open Source Software would mean that it has to be
packaged & made readily available as binary for installation atleast
in
two family of distros - debian & fedora.
not necessarily. In the first place, as far as I know, developers rarely
package their own apps. The packages are usually built by 3rd parties.
Also a lot of apps do not have binaries - like django. Also since
deployment in a framework like django is usually through virtualenv or
buildout, the rpm/deb cannot be used. I have seen people trying to use
the packaged version of django in Fedora and Ubuntu and it has been very
frustrating for them.
post development - building them to get the binaries for various
architectures & taking them to repos/ maintaining there or under
one's
own repo can be given some priority.
