IDK if there could be better source for this. Sure, if everyone would participate it could solve this issue. But reusing my above example expat: https://release-monitoring.org/project/770/ Unfortunately only Alpine, Arch and Fedora are listed. And it looks like release-monitoring.org doesn't track the name of the libraries (which are probably subpackages). Nevertheless, release-monitoring.org could solve this issue. > > > Vít > > >> >> >> Cheers, >> >> Dan >> >> Valor Naram writes: >> >>> Dear Fedora mailing list community, >>> >>> I am Sören alias Valor Naram and I founded the project "goeasyLinux".

Re: package managemt symlink
Hi Sören, while I don't want to discourage you in your work, symlinking the package manager to /usr/bin/nimue isn't going to solve a more fundamental issue: every distro has a different naming scheme for packages. Sure, the "big" programs (Firefox for instance) have usually the name you'd expect, but with libraries this won't help at all. Practical example: I want to install the development version of expat: Fedora & CentOS: expat-devel Debian & Ubuntu: libexpat1-dev OpenSUSE: libexpat-devel Arch: expat Alpine: expat-dev Solving this is next to impossible, unless you want to enumerate **every** single package of **every** supported distro manually.

package managemt symlink
Dear Fedora mailing list community, I am Sören alias Valor Naram and I founded the project "goeasyLinux". I will help to make linux more user friendly. A short introduction to "goeasyLinux" can be found at https://github.com/ValorNaram/goeasylinux/blob/master/README.md The specification I wrote in order to make a cross platform symlink to package management systems: https://github.com/ValorNaram/goeasylinux/blob/master/package%20management/package%20install.md With your help I want to make package installing/removing equal on all linux systems without disturbing the diversity we have across linux distributions. In order to do that we need just a symlink, no replacement of existing software. I think you did something similar in the past.
