Answer 1

a)DEPENDENCY BASED BUILD PROMOTES THE FREDOM   TO PROGRAM

Whenever I want to be amazed, all I need to do is reflect on the fact that the continuing development of the Linux operating system is done essentially by a community of volunteers. That’s right! One of the most popular and important operating systems is updated and maintained through donated labor. Any programmer anywhere in the world can make a contribution to improve the Linux kernel.

That such a herculean undertaking is done though volunteer labor is mind-boggling. What’s more amazing is that the software created has an extraordinarily high level of quality. Let’s face it, working on the Linux kernel is not something a kid in high school with a year’s worth of experience programming in C can do. But, any kid in high school can make a contribution to the Linux code base, provided the code passes muster. That it happens is almost magical, in a way. But it does, every day.

b) The size of the central repository is increasing steadily. To save us bandwidth and you time, mirroring the entire central repository is not allowed (doing so will get you automatically banned). Instead, we suggest you setup a repository manager as a proxy.
