I agree that we are missing some abstract concepts in the documentation and it would be great to have this !
However, on the "why rez" I think that the welcome page explains pretty explicitly that rez main design is to have a central repository.
So I think the request for this issue should be a bit more specific:
- features of rez (bullet list that is quicker than reading
basic concepts
) - what is a package manager (could be the place to introduce the distinction with an environment manager)
- what rez is missing ?
- and we could even add other alternative to rez (I remember the Spack article from Chad Dombrova)
What do you think ?
from rez.
I think we could benefit from a rather extensive and explicit set of "direct comparisons" between rez and other package managers. A lot of people coming to the project are going to be asking "Why don't I just use pip", "Why not conda", "Why not just use your system package manager", and while the questions are obvious, the answers are often non-obvious to people who don't explicitly have the same problem with package management that VFX Studios have.
As well, somewhere, I think that delineating the scope of rez by specifically calling out "configuring what your rez-requests actually are", would be helpful, and I'd hope a future working-subgroup could point to some recommendations for "what to do to manage your rez requests", etc.
