APT HOWTO (Obsolete Documentation)

<br>Chapter 1 - Introduction

In the beginning there was the .tar.gz. Users had to compile each program that
|
|
they wanted to use on their GNU/Linux systems. When Debian was created, it was
|
|
deemed necessary that the system include a method of managing the packages
|
|
installed on the machine. The name <code>dpkg</code> was given to this system.
|
|
Thus the famous `package' first came into being on GNU/Linux, a while before
|
|
Red Hat decided to create their own `rpm' system.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A new dilemma quickly took hold of the minds of the makers of GNU/Linux. They
|
|
needed a rapid, practical, and efficient way to install packages that would
|
|
manage dependencies automatically and take care of their configuration files
|
|
while upgrading. Here again, Debian led the way and gave birth to APT, the
|
|
Advanced Packaging Tool, which has since been ported by Conectiva for use with
|
|
rpm and has been adopted by some other distributions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This manual makes no attempt to address apt-rpm, as the Conectiva port of APT
|
|
is known, but "patches" to this document which do so would be
|
|
welcome.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This manual is based on the next Debian release, <samp>Sarge</samp>.
