General configuration covers the project's name, its owner and its dependencies on other projects. One can also configure individual phases of the build process, which are implemented as plugins. For example, one can configure the compiler-plugin to use Java version 1.5 for compilation, or specify packaging the project even if some unit tests fail.
For example, many Linux distributions use Advanced Packaging Tool (APT), commonly found in Debian based distributions, or Yellowdog Updater, Modified found in Red Hat based distributions. There are also multiple independent package management systems, such as pacman, used in Arch Linux and equo, found in Sabayon Linux .
Today, multiple tools are available for generating a configure script based on special configuration files. One commonly used tool is Autotools which generates a Bash script. Obtaining a software package as source code and compiling it locally is a common scenario on Unix and Unix-like environments.
An early package manager was SMIT (and its backend installp) from IBM AIX. SMIT was introduced with AIX 3.0 in 1989. [citation needed]Early package managers, from around 1994, had no automatic dependency resolution [3] but could already drastically simplify the process of adding and removing software from a running system.
A machine is a runtime that has the necessary software installed. If the user adds for example a project which uses Apache Maven, the Workspace Master installs Maven on any machine in the workspace to ensure the project can be executed on each machine. Che comes with some predefined technology stacks to quickly set up a new machine.
The Windows Package Manager (also known as winget) is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications. [5] [6] Independent software vendors can use it as a distribution channel for their software packages.
Operating systems supported by Nixpkgs are primarily Linux and Darwin, with some support for Windows and BSD variants. Supported CPU architectures include 64-bit x86 and ARM. Packages for these architectures are built regularly, using a continuous integration service called Hydra, [ 14 ] and the results of these builds are uploaded to a public ...
A problem on Linux systems with installing packages from a different distributor is that the resulting long chain of dependencies may lead to a conflicting version of the C standard library (e.g. the GNU C Library), on which thousands of packages depend. If this happens, the user will be prompted to uninstall all of those packages.
