when I say package model, its short hand for a dependency graph model between packages where packages can easily be installed and upgraded independently with whatever dependencies that they need to be installed along with them.
If one really wants to simplify it, I'd say "Debian's package model" as that's what I have the most direct experience with.
- karmakaze 6y agoFunny you should mention that as it's exactly what I've had problems with. Even though Debian and Ubuntu use the same package model/format but having separate repositories use differently made packages with varying default settings for example. Because of this I've found that less popular software in Debian repositories are less crowd-tested. Flatpack fixes this. I would like to freely choose the best package and use it on the best distribution for my purposes.
