Linux distributions package management



dpkg
, used originally by Debian and now by other systems like Ubuntu, uses the .deb format and was the first to have a widely known dependency resolution tool (APT).

RPM Package Manager, created by Red Hat and used by a number of other Linux distributions. RPM is the Linux Standard Base packaging format and the base of a number of additional tools, including apt4rpm; Red Hat's up2date; Mandriva's urpmi; openSUSE's ZYpp; PLD Linux's poldek; and YUM, which is used by Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Yellow Dog Linux.

tgz package system that combines the standard tar and gzip. Used by Slackware Linux and its closer derivates, there are a few higher-level tools that use the same tgz packaging format, including: slapt-get, slackpkg, zendo, netpkg, and swaret.

Pacman for Arch Linux, Frugalware and DeLi Linux uses pre-compiled binaries distributed in a compressed Tar archive.
