> build/package Podman as part of their OS release process. But that is notoriously out-of-date.
providing duplicate/additional non official builds for other OS is
- undermining the OSes package curation
- confusing for the user
- cost additional developer time, which for most OSS is fairly limited
- for non vendorable system dependencies this additional dev time cost can be way higher in all kinds of surprising ways
- obfuscate if a Linux distro is in-cable of properly maintaining their packages
- lead to a splitting of the target OS specific eco system of software using this as a dependency
etc.
it's a lose lose lose for pretty much everyone involved
so as long as you don't have a have a monetary reason that you must do it (like e.g. docker has) it's in my personal opinion a very dump thing to do
I apologize for being a bit blunt but in the end why not use a Linux distribution which works with modern software development cycles?
Blaming others for problems with the OS you decided to use when there are alternatives seems not very productive.
