 +===== The decisions behind: Are there disadvantages? =====

 +You may ask for sure: Do I really need all of this and manage packaging? The clear answer here is surely: No, you do not need to. But in fact you will also have to manage all the compiled and installed data on your own. Minimizing that effort is to create as said clear packaged software and data for you to install, remove, up- or downgrade all the time again on your own will with the clear point of knowledge what you are doing and what data is next added to your system running.

 +Are there disadvantages? Not really, besides you learn much more about the file-system and its structures. It just depends on your will doing so. If you have no interest? Sure, it is your choice doing so. But you can also share the scripts for others to review them, helping you with possible problems running software and in the end you can give also something back when you share your package-script and the files around for others to understand, learn, modify and share them again. Or you get hosting your own repository offering software and ports for others to download and install? As said: That is your decision, but we believe clearly within the model to share information, data and more, giving something back. We believe not within seeing free, libre software only as "gratis offered software" including full-time support at any given point. If you want that, Hyperbola is not the project and system for you and we kindly ask you to search for a different solution.
