Define terms
What is the difference between recipe packages and source packages? I had never heard of recipe packages before reading the article. Gobo Linux has recipes, but they seem more like a type of source packages. –82.203.170.147 13:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Merger Proposal
the page
- I agree, it should be merged. - Ahunt (talk) 11:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- I disagree, there are some package formats that have no associated package manager, in particular: AppImages, AppShell and klik, therefore I don't think they belong at List of software package management systems. --Jerebin (talk) 00:10, 16 August 2011 (UTC)]
- It seems klik is in fact already at the List of software package management systems article under "meta-package manager". However, I'm pretty sure klik can't be considered a package manager, neither the software I mentioned above. --Jerebin (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Docker, Flatpak, OVF?
Kindly please complete the table --Ghettobuoy (talk) 01:28, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- That is why Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit! Just cite refs when you add it, please. - Ahunt (talk) 11:24, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
What is ORB
I'm going to remove ORB for the table of package formats. I have never heard of this format. (I recognize most of the other formats in the table.) There is no citation in the page for it. The ORB link just redirects to this page, so you can't learn about it even if you wanted to. I think it should be removed. I just wanted to mention this in case someone wants to add ORB back with some information about it. 71.225.252.204 (talk) 04:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
