The new implementation is currently only used in the installer, but is intended to eventually replace the original entirely. Both implementations make use of the same protocol for communication between the debconf front-end and the client code ("confmodule"); this is a simple line-based protocol similar to common Internet protocols.
dpkg-source packs and unpacks the source files of a Debian package. dpkg-gencontrol reads the information from an unpacked Debian tree source and generates a binary package control package, creating an entry for this in Debian/files. dpkg-shlibdeps calculates the dependencies of runs with respect to libraries.
Another distinction is the retrieval of packages from remote repositories. APT uses a location configuration file (/etc/apt/sources.list) to locate the desired packages, which might be available on the network or a removable storage medium, for example, and retrieve them, and also obtain information about available (but not installed) packages.
Besides the default PyPI repository, Pip supports custom repositories as well. [16] Such repositories can be located on an HTTP(s) URL or on a file system location. A custom repository can be specified using the -i or—index-url option, like so: pip install -i https://your-custom-repo/simple <package name> ; or with a filesystem: pip install ...
Debian packages are used in distributions based on Debian, such as, Linux Mint (LMDE), [28] [29] KDE neon, Ubuntu and many others. Fink, a port of dpkg and APT to macOS, uses deb packages. [30] [31] Nexenta OS, a discontinued OS based on OpenSolaris, included Debian package management software and the use of deb packages.
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".
Debian family tree. Debian (a portmanteau of the names "Deb" and "Ian") Linux is a distribution that emphasizes free software. It supports many hardware platforms. Debian and distributions based on it use the .deb package format [2] and the dpkg package manager and its frontends (such as apt or synaptic). [3]
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.
