The Pack Management Project is about how manage and maintain large software collections. Through the introduction of the Package-Collection Structure installation and maintenance of software packages becomes easy and uncumbersome. Each package is installed in its own subdirectory, which allows for simultaneous installation of two or more versions of the same package. Consequently no database is needed to keep track of which package a certain file belongs to.
The structure is meant as a replacement for the usual places (/usr/local/ and /opt/) to install software packages.
To manage the structure the Packman tool is provided.
