packages_current

This page explains how the packages are packaged and sorted. Additionally, it lists the version of each package used in the Cucumber-current release.

Packaging

Cucumber packages are just tarballs of the package, much like Slackware & Arch Linux packages.

An x in a package version indicates that the package will automatically update to the latest x version/release. E.g. glibc 2.x indicates the latest version of glibc in the version 2 branch.

Package Groups

The package groups in Cucumber Linux are based off the Slackware package groups. Each package group listed here (for the most part) has a corresponding Slackware package group noted in parentheses.

This similarity is only existent to a point though. Many cucumber package groups are further broken down into up to three sub groups: base, general and extra, as denoted by the suffix. Packages that are absolutely essential to providing the basic functionality of a package group are put in the base group. Packages that are generally expected to be available, but are not essential are put in the general group. Packages that provide extra functionality are placed in the extra group.
