- On Linux systems, ensure the download process does not write outside the download directory
What does that mean “On Linux systems”? Pacman is available for non Linux systems?
Pacman was birthed from the Arch ecosystem, but it’s built to be generalized so any project can use it if they choose.
arch = base.tarball[0] + pacman
[0] 90% similar to all other linux tarballs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
