Frugalware Linux has been a general-purpose Linux distribution designed for intermediate users who are familiar with command-line operations. Early versions were based on Slackware , but it later became an independently developed distribution. Frugalware made use of the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux .[3]
History
[ edit ]
Frugalware was founded in 2004 by Miklós Vajna. He considered Slackware's package manager pkgtools too slow, and wanted to rewrite it in C init scripts and build system, and added Pacman , the package manager from Arch Linux . As a result, Frugalware was born.[4]
Package management
[ edit ]
Since version 0.6 Frugalware has used the Pacman-G2 package manager.[5] Pacman by Aurelien Foret, which was not officially released at the time.[6]
Frugalware's packages' extension is .fpm.[7] xz [8]
Repoman is a tool to compile source packages and automatically create and install closed-source packages.[9] [7] [9]
Branches
[ edit ]
Frugalware has a -current and a -stable branch. The -current branch is updated daily, and the -stable branch gets updated every 6 months.[8]
Architectures
[ edit ]
From the official web site, 2012: "Frugalware currently supports x86 (Pentium Pro or higher) and x86_64 (k8, aka. amd64) platforms".[8]
