Why Ubuntu Softwares are not packaged in a single file?
- by Anwar Shah
We see Most of the Windows Softwares are packaged in a Single executable file. When I double-click Setup file, it sets up all the files, binaries and libraries with it.
I understand the dependency of Ubuntu or more generally linux packages. But I wonder, Why these exists. Isn't it possible to build a single file with all dependencies. What is the problems with this method?
Please try to give the reason in details.
