Package managers

Autobuild3 can handle multiple package manager backends using variable controls and abstraction. Currently supported backends are listed below.

  • dpkg, or Debian package manager backend (recommended).
  • rpm, or Redhat package manager backend (experimental).

Packagers may configure which backend(s) to use with Autobuild3 using the options below.

ABMPM= expects one of the backends listed above, to be used as the primary package manager backend, hence what kind of packages to be built.

ABAPMS= expects one or more of the backend(s) listed above, to be used as additional package manager backend(s), hence what kind of packages to be built.

ABINSTALL= expects one or more of the backend(s) listed above, to set what kind of packages to be installed after build
