Introduction
While distributions typically have high quality packages that work fine, a lot of software is not packaged in distributions.
This often lead users to rely on third party package managers that are often provided by the distribution.
This page tries to summarize the research about such third party package managers, especially to understand which one can be added in or kept in FSDG compliant distributions, and which ones should be removed or replaced.
FSDG compliant repositories
This contains lists of FSDG compliant repositories.
| Repository type | FSDG compliant implementations |
|---|---|
| Browser addons | See BrowserAddons |
| General purpose package manager on top of existing distributions |
The CrossDistroBootstrap also has some information on how reusable are some FSDG distribution repositories. For instance PureOS is now in upstream debootstrap, but other FSDG compliant distributions need to wait for a new debootstrap release, and they might also need to package the PureOS keyring to enable users to safely use their repositories.
Research
Programming languages
| Repository name | Repository type | Repository website | Licenses requirements | Reliability of license fields |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cabal | Haskell | ? | FLOSS license required, points to FSF and OSI for the licenses list | ? |
| CPAN | Perl | ? | Allow any license (including nonfree software) | ? |
| PECL | PHP | ? | Allow nonfree software, GPL and LGPLv3 (libraries?) not accepted | ? |

Parabola has a bug report (bug #1035) about programming language package managers, it has more reference and information on the issue.
