    Customer: Now, then, some packages, my good man.
    Owner: Certainly, sir! What would you like?
    Customer: How about some nice bitbake?
    Owner: I'm afraid we're fresh out of bitbake, sir.

    Customer: No matter...have you any testoob?
    Owner: Not...as...such, sir.
    Customer: Well then, perhaps some SiGL?
    Owner: Normally, yes, sir. Hard drive broke down.
    Customer: I see...do you in fact have any packages?
    Owner: Certainly, sir! This is The Cheese Shop, sir! We have -
    Customer: No no no...don't tell me, I'm keen to guess...

      Customer: Well, then, have you got any Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?
      Owner: Sir, this is a self-respecting establishment. I shall thank you not to imply we should traffic in VB, much less, even mention the foul product.

    sorry for being, lazy, I didn't read the fucking repository but...
    a) why is this different from the vault of parnassus?
    b) missed the cheese joke (not a big m. python fan I guess...)

      Right, because yacc, bison, parrot, beagle, mozilla, apache, zope, gkrellm and superkaramba are all such normal names.

      No, we're talking about cheese.

      No, Yum is an RPM package manager. Totally different.

    If they're problems that are related the she-bang (#!/usr/bin/perl), then user-friendliness problems are in teh kernel itself. The #! thing is a hack inside the kernel itself, and as such, does very minimal parsing. So, it doesn't search the path for the perl or python interpretters (unless you use /usr/bin/env, which is also not ideal for a couple reasons).

    I don't know. Maybe a better solution would be to create a variable like $SHELL, but call it $SHEBANG. When a script starts with #!$SHEBANG, the kernel wouldn't parse ANYTHING else on that line (eg. have the same behavior across Linux, Solaris, ...), and the $SHEBANG program would be some universally available program that would do the parsing of that line, and search the path, etc. I don't know.

    Start scripts with:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    It'll do the right thing whenever python is in $PATH.

    Cryptic failure code? I have always admired python for its verbose failure messages, which usually include a traceback... not sure what you mean by cryptic failure code...

    ... but this is plain disappointing.

    Why do they included each _version_ of a package in the repository? EmPy listed and counted in the category list 4 times.

    How can I easily download a package, including all of it's dependencies? Or, how can I just download a package from CheeseShop automatically, using a command-line utility?
