论文摘要
包装管理人员是Linux发行版的非常重要的一部分,但我们注意到其中有两个弱点:他们使用未针对特定硬件进行优化的预制软件包,并且通常太重,对于特定的需求,或者包装可能需要大量时间和资源来编译。在本文中,我们提出了一个新颖的Linux软件包管理器,该管理器使用云计算功能来编译和分发Linux软件包,而不会影响最终用户的性能。我们还展示了Portage,Gentoo的软件包管理器如何通过自定义和性能进行优化,以及云计算功能以更有效地编译Linux软件包。所有这些都导致了一个新的基于云的Linux软件包管理器,该管理器旨在更好地计算性能。
Package managers are a very important part of Linux distributions but we have noticed two weaknesses in them: They use pre-built packages that are not optimised for specific hardware and often they are too heavy for a specific need, or packagesmay require plenty of time and resources to be compiled. In this paper, we present a novel Linux package manager which uses cloud computing features to compile and distribute Linux packages without impacting the end user's performance. We also show how Portage, Gentoo's package manager can be optimised for customisation and performance, along with the cloud computing features to compile Linux packages more efficiently. All of this resulting in a new cloud-based Linux package manager that is built for better computing performance.
