Porting Packages

Nexenta utilizes Debian packaging formats to package software and deliver reliable upgrades. There is no significant differences between Debian and Nexenta ways of package preparation and development cycles. Nexenta utilizes Debian toolchain, with tools such as dpkg, apt-get, dput, deboostrap. Read more about these tools on the official Debian pages.
