Check out the latest issue/bug at Sigil (just closed by me).
Incredibly the packagers are now upset that Sigil uses a launch script that sets environment vars! I guess if using environment vars and scripts are "so 80s and a bad idea", then Linux users must now stop using PATH, or init.d or KDE Desktop, or Qt or ... as they all do the same thing. Complete silliness.
Using a install paradigm designed in the 70s, with virtually no standards, no way to have private shared libs or resources, no code signing or verification of apps on launch, no real way to limit app resourcs, pieces installed all over the place, no app containers, etc and yet they complain about scripts using environments vars.
You gotta love all of the different biases of all of the different packagers for linux. It seems you can never make them all happy.... no wonder user_none finally through in the towel when it came to supporting linux.
