ZYpp (or libzypp; "Zen / YaST Packages Patches Patterns Products" [6]) is a package manager engine that powers Linux applications like YaST, Zypper and the implementation of PackageKit for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. [7] Unlike some more basic package managers, it provides a satisfiability solver to compute package dependencies. [8]
Pip connects to an online repository of public packages, called the Python Package Index. Pip can be configured to connect to other package repositories (local or remote), provided that they comply to Python Enhancement Proposal 503. [6] [7] Most distributions of Python come with pip preinstalled.
The Python Package Index, abbreviated as PyPI (/ ˌ p aɪ p i ˈ aɪ /) and also known as the Cheese Shop (a reference to the Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch "Cheese Shop"), [2]: 8 [3]: 742 is the official third-party software repository for Python. [4] It is analogous to the CPAN repository for Perl [5]: 36 and to the CRAN repository for R.
A package manager or package management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer in a consistent manner. [1] A package manager deals with packages, distributions of software and data in archive files.
A software repository, or repo for short, is a storage location for software packages. Often a table of contents is also stored, along with metadata. A software repository is typically managed by source or version control, or repository managers. Package managers allow automatically installing and updating repositories, sometimes called "packages".
It was created for Python programs, but it can package and distribute software for any language (e.g., R), including multi-language projects. [18] The Conda package and environment manager is included in all versions of Anaconda, Miniconda, [51] and Anaconda Repository. [45]
Summarising the situation in 2013, Richard Stallman identified nine aspects which generally apply to being a GNU package, [1] but he noted that exceptions and flexibility are possible when there are good reasons: [2] The package should say that it is a GNU package. It should be distributed via ftp.gnu.org, or another site offering access to ...
The Nix package manager employs a model in which software packages are each installed into unique directories with immutable contents. These directory names correspond to cryptographic hashes that take into account all dependencies of a package, including other packages managed by Nix. As a result, Nix package names are content-identifying ...
