Programming language specific package management systems
- by m0nhawk
There are some programming languages for which exist their own package management systems:
CTAN for TeX
CPAN for Perl
Pip & Eggs for Python
Maven for Java
cabal for Haskell
Gems for Ruby
Is there any other languages with such systems? What about C and C++? (that's the main question!) Why there are no such systems for them? And isn't creating packages for yum, apt-get or other general package management systems better?
UPD: And what about unification? Have someone tried to unify that "the zoo"? If yes, looks like that project didn't succeed.
