	Encyclopedia: Package management system
		A package management system is a collection of tools to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer.
		Packages often include other important information, such as the full name, version, and vendor of the software, checksum information, and a list of other packages, known as dependencies, that are required for the software to run properly.
		Package management systems are charged with the task of organising all of the packages installed on a system and maintaining their usability.

	RPM Package Manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RPM Package Manager (or RPM, originally called "Red Hat Package Manager") is a package management system primarily intended for Linux.
		However, note that package label is contained within the file and does not necessarily need to match the name of the file.
		When using packages that are from a particular distribution (say Red Hat) or built for a particular distribution (for example Freshrpms [1] for Red Hat), then automatic dependency checking can work, using tools such as yum or apt (see below).

	Slackware Package Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Slackware's package management system is often cited as a weakness of the Slackware distribution compared to other distributions such as Red Hat and Debian.
		Slackware's package system is fairly robust and useful, however it does lack certain features such as the ability to check for dependencies.
		Most Solaris packages are distributed in a gzipped tar archive, although there is an option to make a package into a 'stream' which is basically similar to a tar archive in that it is a single file composing a stream of data which may normally comprise multiple files.

		Then there is pkgadd packages in Solaris, AIX has it's own package management system, etc. There may be tools to convert some package types to others but I don't believe any are very mature.
		Someone has to take that source code and create a package for the targeted system if you want to be able to use the package management tools of that OS to install the package.
		Just because a package is listed as "unofficial" doesn't mean there's trouble with it, it may be something that the Debian developers feel might not be quite right a far as free vs. non-free goes; they're very anal about that.

	Package Management: How to Do It?
		The process of building a package for RPP was such that there was no way to ensure the executable programs were built from the source code contained in an RPP source package.
		As people started using RPP, it became obvious that the package managers that were unable to simplify the process of building packages for more than one architecture, or type of computer, were going to be at a disadvantage.
		While the approach of dedicating a database to package management was a good idea, the implementation used in RPM version 1 left a lot to be desired.

		Unlike other package management systems, NxPackage was designed from the start to provide all of the features that a modern package management system should have.
		Packages built with nxpackage have an API exposed that allows the package to communicate with this package management system.
		This allows intelligent packages to create files at runtime, add or remove files from the package database according to the system information, or discover if a certain package is installed to allow a new feature.

		If you're not sure where a package is going to put the files the best course of action is to run "make -n install" and watch closely where the Makefile will put the files.

		One can specify which packages should be operated on by highlighting a package name or the label for a group of packages.
		Given this sort order, some packages in section A (say) may be presented first, followed by some packages in section B, followed by more packages (of lower priority) in section A. You can also expand meanings of the labels at the top of the screen, by using the `v' (verbose) key.
		This program splits large package into smaller files (e.g., for writing onto a set of floppy disks), and can also be used to merge a set of split files back into a single file.

		I would like to stress that the "install" step here should be the installation from the binary package, not some other install code.
		The package system used needs to use the same registry, or duplicate it's registration in both places (like I have done in this hack).

	Linux Today - LinuxPlanet: .comment: Something for Everybody II
		In the real world, there are many different package management systems, and it would be impractical to impossible to abandon a vendor-supplied package management system in favor of another (would Red Hat, for instance, even consider supporting a "Red Hat Linux" system that didn't use RPM to manage software packages?).
		We need an extensible system that can talk to all common package management systems and can provide a single interface to all common package management system functions (install, uninstall, list, check/verify, etc.).
		I think such a system is possible, and preferable to trying to find a single, ultimate package management system.

		With a heterogeneous environment, package installation requires an understanding of each of the package management systems.
		The Solaris package manager does not "automatically" install a package's dependencies and our Tru64 UNIX setld packages do not ship with dependency information intact because of the poor support in setld for dependencies.
		The most important of these is the pkg-inst tool, a utility that installs packages independent of the package management system.
