Baker is an advanced package management system that operates on source code. It provides automated package building and management.
One of the key features of Baker is its command-line interface, called 'bake'. With this tool, you can easily download, compile, and install various programs in no time. Additionally, Baker comes with a catalog of "recipes" (also known as the "recipe book") that can be synchronized with a master or mirrored master.
This catalog contains YAML files that describe where to get a program, including mirrors and local regions, as well as how to compile and install it. As a result, Baker is highly adaptable to any distribution, even those with non-standard FHS. Moreover, Baker is quite flexible, featuring extensible types of build recipes, already including a basic shell recipe class.
Another great benefit of using Baker is that it allows distribution developers to maintain large collections of binary packages very easily. Ultimately, with its seamless integration of source-based and binary-based package management, Baker is a robust and comprehensive software tool that'll come in handy for anyone looking for a powerful package management system.
