Now, you say it's preferable to use the native package manager where possible. I've got one word for you: Windows. You know, the most popular OS on the market? The one installed on 98% of all computers world-wide? Guess what: no native package manager.
Isn't Windows Installer (MSI) a package manager?
Can you say "please download and install darcs for me and take care of any dependencies it might need whilst you're at it" with MSI? MSI is more analogous to RPM/deb packages than to yum/apt. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
