Nexenta RC3 (Default branch)
Image Nexenta is a complete GNU-based operating system built on top of the OpenSolaris kernel and runtime. The Debian system is used for software distribution and packaging to glue the numerous pieces together. However, Nexenta is not currently part of the Debian Project, nor are its packages present in the Debian database. It includes Apache, MySQL, Perl, Python, PHP, Firefox, Evolution, a software update manager, Synaptic package manager, Gaim, Abiword, administration and development utilities, editors, graphics, GNOME, interpreters, libraries, and much more. License: Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Changes:
Xen Dom0/DomU support. Critical fixes for the ative CIFS server. Critical fixes for ZFS. Critical bugfixes for SATA and networking stacks. The CIFS client is now included in the default installation. A GRUB-integrated memory test for x86 is included. There are installer fixes; this release properly installs on machines with 256MB. The Debian APT repository is complete, and ~2500 tested packages are included. Many new documents and articles are now available.Image

aptpkg::system

AptPkg::System(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       AptPkg::System(3pm)

NAME

       AptPkg::System - APT system abstraction class

SYNOPSIS

       use AptPkg::System;

DESCRIPTION

       The AptPkg::System module provides an interface to APT's system abstraction mechanism.

   AptPkg::System
       The AptPkg::System package implements the APT pkgSystem class.

       An instance of the AptPkg::System class appropriate for the particular back-end packaging system (deb, rpm, etc.) may be fetched using the
       system method from AptPkg::Config.

       A global instance of the libapt-pkg _system instance is provided as $AptPkg::System::_system, and may be imported.

       The following methods are implemented:

       label
	   Return the description of the packaging system, for example:

	       Debian dpkg interface

	   for Debian systems.

       lock
	   Lock the packaging system.

       unlock(QUIET)
	   Unlock the packaging system, ignoring errors if QUIET is non-zero.

       versioning
	   Return an instance of the AptPkg::Version class for this system.
