 | | Packages often include other important information, such as the full name, version, and vendor of the software, checksum information, and a list of other packages, known as dependencies, that are required for the software to run properly. | | | A software package is a special method for the distribution and installation of software on computer systems. | | | A package management system is a collection of tools to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer. |

| | The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. | | | RPM is commonly found in the Linux computer operating system environment, but has been extended far beyond those initial confines. | | | A subset of the full RPM package feature-set is the baseline standard packaging format specified by the Linux Standard Base (which has as some of its goals to: "increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant Linux system.") |

| | Installation of software by the package system uses "dependencies" which are carefully designed by the package maintainers. | | | Systems with only the Required packages are probably unusable, but they do have enough functionality to allow the sysadmin to boot and install more software. | | | The Debian package system has a range of package "dependencies" which are designed to indicate (in a single flag) the level at which Program A can operate independently of the existence of Program B on a given system: |

| | Slackware's package management system is often cited as a weakness of the Slackware distribution compared to other distributions such as Red Hat and Debian. | | | Package information, in the form of the pkginfo and pkgmap files are stored in the /var/sadm/pkg directory. | | | Most Solaris packages are distributed in a gzipped tar archive, although there is an option to make a package into a 'stream' which is basically similar to a tar archive in that it is a single file composing a stream of data which may normally comprise multiple files. |

| | Package Management: How to Do It? |
| | As people started using RPP, it became obvious that the package managers that were unable to simplify the process of building packages for more than one architecture, or type of computer, were going to be at a disadvantage. | | | The process of building a package for RPP was such that there was no way to ensure the executable programs were built from the source code contained in an RPP source package. | | | Other package management systems take a different approach, keeping track of the files on the system and manipulating packages by concentrating on the files involved. |
