Nope. My volunteering these days is difficult, much more important than
any Linux distro, and not bothered with by about 98% of the population
to which it's crucial. I'm blowing off time I really should be working
to do this volunteerism, and have no remaining time to learn
package-managership and then herd all the cats into accepting my
packaging solutions.

If I sound like an asshole, it's because I've had a very frustrating
several days, during which no good deed I did went unpunished.
