Questions tagged [package-management]

The general process of managing and maintaining packages; not to be confused with the related tag, [package-managers], which is focused on the package-management tools themselves.

Packages refers to any archive files containing a computer program as well as necessary metadata for its deployment.

Typical functions of a package management system include:

  • Working with file archivers to extract package archives
  • Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the package by verifying their digital certificates and checksums
  • Looking up, downloading, installing or updating existing software from a software repository or app store
  • Grouping packages by function to reduce user confusion
  • Managing dependencies to ensure a package is installed with all packages it requires, thus avoiding "dependency hell"
