There were no binaries or packages. You wrote the HTML in notepad or maybe you used some "high speed IDE" with syntax highlighting and some buttons like Dreamweaver and then uploaded it via FTP to whatever server you were hosting it on. No muss, no fuss. It was a glorious time and I miss that internet a lot.
Nor are there binaries now. I was simply making an analogy between traditional binaries/source code, and the way the web is built today (frameworks).
