Packaging Notes

0

Zero Install does not define a new packaging format; it uses XML metadata to describe packages and dependencies. It supports unmodified tarballs or zip archives and allows multiple versions to be installed in parallel without side effects.

Notes

0

Zero Install packages never interfere with the operating system's package management. It supports multiple platforms including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Mac OS X, and Windows. The .NET implementation is available and can be embedded into applications.
