Repository Core per Arch Linux

linuxlandia @ 14:12

Arch Linux usa Pacman come gestore dei pacchetti. Pacman abbina un formato semplice di pacchetti binari ad un sistema facile da usare per la compilazione di software, a partire dai sorgenti, permettendo agli utenti di gestire e personalizzare con semplicità i propri pacchetti, siano essi pacchetti ufficiali Arch Linux o pacchetti autoprodotti dall'utente stesso. Il sistema a repository consente agli utenti di compilare e mantenere i propri repository di pacchetti, e questo incoraggia la crescita della comunità e della contribuzione.

Pacman può tenere aggiornato un sistema, sincronizzando le liste dei pacchetti con il server principale, rendendo il lavoro di manutenzione molto semplice per l'amministratore di sistema che sa il fatto suo in termini di sicurezza. Questo modello server/client vi permette anche di scaricare/installare pacchetti con un semplice comando, completi di tutte le dipendenze richieste (similmente ad apt-get di Debian). Il set di pacchetti ufficiali di Arch ("core") è ragionevolmente ridotto, ma è accompagnato da un repository "extra" più completo che contiene tanti pacchetti che non trovano posto nel set "core". Questo repository è costantemente in crescita con l'aiuto dei pacchetti inviatici dalla nostra forte comunità.

Arch Linux non fornisce nessuna forma di supporto ufficiale, ma troverete molte persone disponibili ad aiutarvi nel canale IRC in lingua inglese, in quello nostro italiano, nel forum inglese e nel nostro forum italiano. Ci sono probabilità che qualche altro Archer abbia avuto il vostro stesso problema/domanda e che abbia già trovato una soluzione/risposta. Chiedete in giro!

Arch Linux adopera un sistema a "rolling release" che funziona più o meno in questo modo: abbiamo sempre due versioni del nostro set di pacchetti "core", Current e Release. Il repository Current contiene sempre l'ultimissima versione dei pacchetti. Non appena un pacchetto viene aggiornato fa parte del repository Current, e così questo è il repository che dovete seguire se volete rimanere molto aggiornati. Il repository Release segue i rilasci ("snapshot") semiregolari e non viene aggiornato fino a quando il successivo snapshot/ISO non venga rilasciato. Per esempio, il repository Release conterrà i pacchetti presenti nell'ISO della versione 0.5 fino a quando non sarà rilasciata la 0.6; in quel momento conterrà i pacchetti della 0.6 fino al rilascio della 0.7. Questo risulta utile se intendete aggiornare il sistema solo quando una nuova release di Arch Linux è disponibile.
