I still think of package management in Linux as quite a new thing. Believe it or not, compiling from source was the only option for many years. I'm amused that there are people who assume that apt/rpm or whatever have been with us since day one.
Package management is really nothing that new in Linux or Unix. I've used Linux since '95 and Unix since '85. All unix flavours had package management, of some sort, for both system and OEM application programs.
