In 2002, Linspire created CNR for web installer Based on APT Debian and dpkg (Debian packages) from C + + GUI developed in Qt framework and API integration gSOAP framework, in April 2006 recently is released under an open source license and 2007 is operational platform for other distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Freespire, Linux Mint). Side of SOA JEE server and works with MySQL, with 8 webservices APIs perform their duties, then spreads to RPM packages (OpenSuSE, Fedora). In July 2008, everything is in the hands of Xandros.
In 2005 Novell developed under BSD license the tool deltarpm , a quick web check is the difference between new and older versions of RPM packages, Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora and all its derivatives are proud of so much innovation in replacement and upgrade package that attuned to Apt and rpmforge for dependencies carries the second software releases earlier into our system.
In 2004 from Germany comes the idea of self-contained software that is packaged in a. Cmg continent packets similar to Mac OS X install / uninstall a simple click / delete it, called klik and only at the expense of a little more RAM and disk space the application does not spread by the file system or conflicting causes broken links to libraries that are superimposed installation after installation (because Linux has no record). Klik works from a web browser plugin and plans to integrate natively klik2 proposed in kernel module Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE). Klik is a single compressed image can be installed in a read-only live cd.
One Click Install for openSUSE is a YMP file has XML based and can be implemented in other distributions adapting to the client for reading instruction declarative code files. Is with us since 2008.
dpkg has been developed by Ian Murdock makes Añares to install, list and remove packages. deb (then come aptitude and synaptic) Slax now uses it to build their modules. LZM (deb2lzm source_filename.deb [output_file.lzm]). The dpkg-dev in Perl was born and was later rewritten in C, consists of 7 tools to unpack, build and package discharge.
In the passage of Slax 5 (UnionFS) to Slax 6 (AUFS) modules changed the extension. Mo to. LZM, these modules compression system LZMA are SquashFS read-only files. This is the ultimate method to update the live-cd Slackware derivative, are not used or slapt-get pkgtools fundamental tools for working with TGZ packages. With respect to embedded mentioned LZMA efficiency much higher than the already efficient if BZ2 compression levels (format chosen for the packages iXsystems TBZ) in addition to speed of execution, until recently lacked the Squash filesystem with official support from the kernel algorithm for lossless Lempel-Ziv-Markov, the Zlib not allow it, but I understand the change came with the recent emergence of Linux kernel 2.6.29.

Just would fail to be updated kernel, xorg, gcc glibc-plus usermode drivers, GUI desktop, multimedia modules / network package manager to mention hundreds of applications available today without decompressing or recompile code or tweak the bugs and incompatibilities of never Finally, and this union of convenience MacOS, Linux Canonical and packages to GDP of iXsystems what brings a philosophy Linux Foundation Update (Microsoft download center type) central, overcoming the advantages apt-synaptic on Debian or e-building Gentoo Portage.
It is true that all this is a reality in PCBSD 7.1.

    4. I have 10 years "living" in the Linux world. I've seen evolve several distributions. I have tried many over the years. I used distributions of "fashion" of the moment, and I also used the most packaging systems for the talk, but after reading this post and "try" to understand, I have all much less clear than it was 10 minutes. Nevertheless, I hope that someone will look like a great exercise in writing ...
