Repository-Based System Management Using Conary
Overview There have been few advances in software packaging systems since the creation of dpkg and RPM. Conary is being developed to provide a fresh approach to Open Source Software management and provisioning, one that applies new ideas from distributed software version control tools such as GNU arch and Monotone. Rather than concentrating on package files, Conary provides architecture built around distributed repositories and change sets, and includes features designed to make branching and tracking Linux distributions simple operations. The rise of distributions such as Fedora and Gentoo has moved the development of Linux distributions from small, tightly-connected groups to widely-dispersed groups of informal collaborators.
