The Smart Package Manager project has the ambitious objective of
|
|
creating smart and portable algorithms for solving adequately the
|
|
problem of managing software upgrades and installation.
|
|
|
|
This tool works in all major distributions and will bring notable
|
|
advantages over native tools currently in use (APT, APT-RPM, YUM,
|
|
URPMI, etc).
|
|
|
|
Notice that this project is not a magical bridge between every
|
|
distribution in the planet. Instead, this is software offering better
|
|
package management for these distributions when working with their
|
|
native packages. Using multiple packaging systems at the same time
|
|
(like rpm and dpkg) is possible but would require packages from those
|
|
systems to follow the same packaging guidelines. As a general rule,
|
|
mixing packaging systems is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
Smart supports the following repository formats as source channels:
|
|
|
|
RPM repositories
|
|
RPM System Database (locally installed packages)
|
|
APT repositories for .rpm
|
|
RPM-MD (used by YUM)
|
|
Red Carpet (used by Ximian/Novell)
|
|
|
|
RPM Header List (used by RedHat and Conectiva installation CDs)
|
|
RPM Directory (a dir with a bunch of RPMs in it, no indexing required)
|
|
URPMI (used by Mandriva)
|
|
|
|
DEB repositories
|
|
DEB System Database (locally installed packages)
|
|
APT repositories for .deb
|
|
DEB Directory (a dir with a bunch of DEBs in it, no indexing required)
|
|
|
|
Slackware
|
|
Slackware installed packages database
|
|
Slackware repositories
|
