Using the Rpm Package Manager for (l a )t E X Packages

چکیده
RPM is a package management system which provides a uniform, automated way for users to install, upgrade, and uninstall programs. Because RPM is the default software distribution format for many operating systems (particularly GNU/Linux), users may find it useful to manage their library of TEXrelated packages using RPM. This article explains how to produce RPM files for TEX software, either for personal use or for public distribution. We also explain how a (LA)TEX user can find, install, and remove TEX-related RPM packages.

An Approach for Secure Software
We present an approach that addresses the problem of securing software configurations from the security-relevant actions of poorly built/faulty installation packages. Our approach is based on a policy-based control of the package manager’s actions and is customizable for site-specific policies. We discuss an implementation of this approach in the context of the Linux operating system for the Re...

متن کاملPackage Management Security
Package management is the task of determining which packages should be installed on a host and then downloading and installing those packages. This paper examines the popular package managers APT and YUM and presents nine feasible attacks on them. There are attacks that install malicious packages, deny users package updates, or cause the host to crash. This work identifies three rules of packag...
