Portage (software)
Portage
is a
package management system
originally created for and used by
Gentoo Linux
and also by
Chrome OS
,
Sabayon
, and
Funtoo Linux
among others. Portage is based on the concept of
ports collections
. Gentoo is sometimes referred to as a
meta-distribution
due to the extreme flexibility of Portage, which makes it
operating-system
-independent. The
Gentoo/Alt
project is concerned with using Portage to manage other operating systems, such as
BSDs
,
Mac OS X
and
Solaris
. The most notable of these implementations is the
Gentoo/FreeBSD
project.
