Welcome, new & old alike!
Justin W. Flory (@jwf / @jflory7) - 29 November 2018
Hi RITlug!
Welcome to Week 13. Join us this week for a guest presentation from Jason Carr on cross-distribution packaging.
Jason will discuss the problems and difficulties with existing package managers on Linux. Two solutions have come about:
- Bundled application managers
- Improved package managers
Additionally, Jason will give a comparison of bundled applications: Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. He will also talk about the cross-distro package managers Nix and Guix.
We hope to see you at this week’s meeting. If you aren’t in our Slack already, don’t forget to come and say hello!
Cheers,
- Justin W. Flory (jwf / jflory7)
