PKGBUILD vs RPM Package Manager
Developers should learn PKGBUILD when working with Arch Linux or similar distributions to create, customize, or maintain software packages from source, such as for installing bleeding-edge versions, applying patches, or contributing to the Arch User Repository (AUR) meets developers should learn rpm when working with or developing for red hat-based linux distributions, as it is the standard package management system for these systems. Here's our take.
PKGBUILD
Developers should learn PKGBUILD when working with Arch Linux or similar distributions to create, customize, or maintain software packages from source, such as for installing bleeding-edge versions, applying patches, or contributing to the Arch User Repository (AUR)
PKGBUILD
Nice PickDevelopers should learn PKGBUILD when working with Arch Linux or similar distributions to create, customize, or maintain software packages from source, such as for installing bleeding-edge versions, applying patches, or contributing to the Arch User Repository (AUR)
Pros
- +It's essential for system administrators and power users who need fine-grained control over software installation and updates in Arch-based environments
- +Related to: arch-linux, bash-scripting
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
RPM Package Manager
Developers should learn RPM when working with or developing for Red Hat-based Linux distributions, as it is the standard package management system for these systems
Pros
- +It is essential for system administrators to install and manage software, for developers to create and distribute software packages, and for DevOps engineers to automate deployments in enterprise environments
- +Related to: linux, yum
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use PKGBUILD if: You want it's essential for system administrators and power users who need fine-grained control over software installation and updates in arch-based environments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use RPM Package Manager if: You prioritize it is essential for system administrators to install and manage software, for developers to create and distribute software packages, and for devops engineers to automate deployments in enterprise environments over what PKGBUILD offers.
