No more FreeBSD, Solaris, open Solaris (illumos smartos etc).
jpackage
It does all of this work for you and its a standard tool that dumps out a platform specific application bundle.
The only people living in 2010 are the ones that choose to live there with incredibly outdated takes on things they dont understand.
