    Packagist

    Packagist

    Packagist

    Packagist is the main composer repository. It aggregates public PHP packages installable with Composer. Put a file named composer.json at the root of your project, containing your project dependencies. Packagist is the default Composer package repository. It lets you find packages and lets Composer know where to get the code from. You can use Composer to manage your project or libraries' dependencies. First of all, you must pick a package name. This is a very important step since it can not change and it should be unique enough to avoid conflicts in the future. The package name consists of a vendor name and a project name joined by a/. The vendor name exists to prevent naming conflicts. The composer.json file should reside at the top of your package's git/svn/ repository and is the way you describe your package to both packagist and composer. New versions of your package are automatically fetched from tags you create in your VCS repository.

    Debian

    Aptitude is an Ncurses and command-line based front-end to numerous Apt libraries, which are also used by Apt, the default Debian package manager. Aptitude is text-based and run from a terminal. A mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner. Mark packages as "automatically installed" or "manually installed" so that packages can be auto-removed when no longer required (feature available in Apt, too, since quite a few Debian releases). Preview of actions about to be taken with different colors marking different actions. The ability to interactively retrieve and display the Debian changelog of all available official packages. Score-based dependency resolver which is more suitable for interactive dependency resolution with additional hints from the user like "I don't want that part of the solution but keep that other part of the solution for your next try". Apt's dependency resolver on the other hand is optimized for good "one-shot" solutions.

    Nix

    Nix

    NixOS

    Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration. Learn how to make reproducible, declarative, and reliable systems. Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that they are reproducible and don't have undeclared dependencies, so if a package works on one machine, it will also work on another. Nix makes it trivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using. Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one package cannot break other packages. It allows you to roll back to previous versions and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade. Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell, they are built by functions that don’t have side effects, and they never change after they have been built.

    Bower

    Bower

    Bower

    Web sites are made of lots of things, frameworks, libraries, assets, and utilities. Bower manages all these things for you. Keeping track of all these packages and making sure they are up to date (or set to the specific versions you need) is tricky. Bower to the rescue! Bower can manage components that contain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, or even image files. Bower doesn’t concatenate or minify code or do anything else, it just installs the right versions of the packages you need and their dependencies. To get started, Bower works by fetching and installing packages from all over, taking care of hunting, finding, downloading, and saving the stuff you’re looking for. Bower keeps track of these packages in a manifest file, bower.json. How you use packages is up to you. Bower provides hooks to facilitate using packages in your tools and workflows. Bower is optimized for the front-end. If multiple packages depend on a package, jQuery, for example, Bower will download jQuery just once.

    Rails Assets

    Rails Assets is the frictionless proxy between Bundler and Bower. It automatically converts the packaged components into gems that are easily droppable into your asset pipeline and stay up to date. First, make sure you use bundler >= 1.8.4. Add Rails Assets as a new gem source, then reference any Bower components that you need as gems. In development, if you have issues with SSL certificates and security is not a priority, you can use the alternate endpoint instead. During bundle install, if Bundler requests a package like this, Rails Assets’ daemon automatically will fetch the component from Bower’s registry, analyze its manifest file, bower.json, repackage the component as a valid Ruby gem and serve it to your application. Dependencies are handled the same way recursively. Gems created by Rails Assets work great with any Sprockets-based application. It works with Sinatra too!

    Pacman is a utility which manages software packages in Linux. It uses simple compressed files as a package format, and maintains a text-based package database (more of a hierarchy), just in case some hand tweaking is necessary. Pacman does not strive to "do everything." It will add, remove and upgrade packages in the system, and it will allow you to query the package database for installed packages, files and owners. It also attempts to handle dependencies automatically and can download packages from a remote server. Version 2.0 of Pacman introduced the ability to sync packages (the - sync option) with a master server through the use of package databases. Prior to this, packages would have to be installed manually using the --add and - upgrade operations.

You can contribute to this book on GitHub. To get started with Cargo, install Cargo (and Rust) and set up your first crate. The commands will let you interact with Cargo using its command-line interface. A Rust crate is either a library or an executable program, referred to as either a library crate or a binary crate, respectively. Loosely, the term crate may refer to either the source code of the target or to the compiled artifact that the target produces. It may also refer to a compressed package fetched from a registry. Your crates can depend on other libraries from crates.io or other registries, git repositories, or subdirectories on your local file system. You can also temporarily override the location of a dependency.

    The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful package management system capable of building computer software from the source into easily distributable packages; installing, updating, and uninstalling packaged software; querying detailed information about the packaged software, whether installed or not; and verifying the integrity of packaged software and resulting software installation. The package’s metadata is stored in the RPM header. The header is a binary data structure that stores single pieces of data in tags. Each tag has a pre-defined meaning and data type. These are not stored in the header itself but need to be known by the code reading the header. In the header, the tags are only referred to by their number. Each tag is either of a plain scalar type or is an array of one of these types. While not enforced by the type system the RPM code assumes that tags belonging together have the same number of entries.

The list of supported actions can be found later on in the actions section. If any such action is encountered DPKG just runs DPKG-deb or DPKG-query with the parameters given to it, but no specific options are currently passed to them, to use any such option the back-ends need to be called directly. DPKG maintains some usable information about available packages. The information is divided into three classes, states, selection states, and flags. These values are intended to be changed mainly with dselect.

    Helm

    Helm

    The Linux Foundation

    Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications, Helm charts help you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application. Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish, so start using Helm and stop the copy-and-paste. Charts describe even the most complex apps, provide repeatable application installation, and serve as a single point of authority. Take the pain out of updates with in-place upgrades and custom hooks. Charts are easy to version, share, and host on public or private servers. Use helm rollback to roll back to an older version of a release with ease. Helm uses a packaging format called charts. A chart is a collection of files that describe a related set of Kubernetes resources. A single chart might be used to deploy something simple, like a memcached pod, or something complex, like a full web app stack with HTTP servers, databases, caches, and so on.

    Ninite

    Ninite

    Ninite

    You can manage your Windows PCs (Windows 7 and later) in a live web interface with Ninite Pro. Install the lightweight Ninite Agent on your machines and they instantly appear on the web for simple point-and-click management. It's an easy way to get a real-time interactive view of all your machines. The new Ninite Pro lets you manage your software in a live web interface. Each machine is a row and each app is a column. You can select an individual cell to update, install, or uninstall an app on a machine. Or select many cells (or whole rows or columns or everything) to perform bulk actions. You can even watch the agents work in real-time. The agent receives commands and sends back updates over a secure connection to Ninite's servers. This means that a roaming laptop looks and works just like any other machine in the web interface. It also makes it possible to issue install/update/uninstall commands for offline machines and have them be delivered the next time those machines are online.

    Codeberg is a collaboration platform and git hosting for free and open source software, content and projects. Independent and powered by your donations and contributions - consider joining the non-profit association Codeberg e. V. to further support our mission and receive your vote! All services run on servers under our control, no dependencies on external services and no third party cookies, no tracking. While all successful software tools that enabled this development were contributed by the Free and Open Source Software community, commercial for-profit platforms dominate the hosting of the results of our collaborative work. This has led to the paradox that literally millions of volunteers create, collect, and maintain invaluable knowledge, documentation, and software, to feed closed platforms driven by commercial interests, whose program is neither visible nor controllable from outside.

    pkgsrc

    pkgsrc is a framework for managing third-party software on UNIX-like systems, currently containing over 17,900 packages. It is the default package manager of NetBSD and SmartOS and can be used to enable freely available software to be built easily on a large number of other UNIX-like platforms. The binary packages that are produced by pkgsrc can be used without having to compile anything from the source. It can be easily used to complement the software on an existing system. pkgsrc is very versatile and configurable, supporting building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix, allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation are also supported. NetBSD already contains the necessary tools for using pkgsrc; on other platforms, you need to bootstrap pkgsrc to get the package management tools installed.

    Scoop

    Scoop

    Scoop installs programs you know and love, from the command line with a minimal amount of friction. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcuts, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu.
