Description:

Wouldn't it be great to have a proper self install file Like OS X, Windows and PC-BSD which is Distro independent. Apt-get is OK but it can only be done on Debian.

Take a look at klik:
http://klik.atekon.de/

It uses a single file that is mounted as a loopback device and then is treated much like the OS X app directory. It uses tools from the autopackage project:
http://www.autopackage.org
to make the executables and libraries relocateable. Autopackages can be installed anywhere on the system including the user's home directory without root permisions. Both are fantastic but have issues with binary compatibility. Autopackage is making great headway in resolving those issues but much work is still needed. The main problem with such systems that you describe is gcc keeps breaking their ABI. Eventually that will work itself out though.

Let's see, there's the formentioned Autopackage, then there is Smart, and btw, Apt-get (actually it's called Aptitude) is available for either RPM based distros or Debian based distros. I used Apt with Synaptic quite extensively when I used Suse, and it's installed on my current Mandriva system, though I'm using Smart at the moment.

IMO, this shouldn't be in the default KDE release at least, let the package managment over to the distros package manager. There's nothing wrong with package managment frontends, but because of all the different package managers (pkg_*, pacman, rpm, dpkg, pkgtool...) and the different OSs running KDE (mostly linux and *bsd, but also other os's), it would be nearly impossible to create a good universal installer, and many people would't use it anyway. I don't really want to see kpackage and stuff in the base KDE4 install either.

Perhaps an application that is pluggable and has some sort of autodetection of your OS would be in order? That way, whoever wanted to could make a plug in for a specific package system, but it would have a unified look to it no matter which one you use.

I guess this is what people want. One application with the similar look nomatter which OS you're running, as long as you're running KDE. One app to rule them all etc ;)

do you know Kpackage? "A KDE tool for installing, viewing and uninstalling packages. The formats supported include RPM, Debian, Slackware and BSD package manager."
http://www.general.uwa.edu.au/u/toivo/kpackage/
AFAIK it's already implemented and does a great job. But on the other side I have to agree that development of package managers is processing slowly and that the different standards are sometimes confusing. Maybe we should concentrate on unifying the various systems like apt, rpm, tgz...
I would appreciate such a process.
