Pacman vs Ports

• Pacman is the binary package tool for Arch Linux. The FreeBSD equivalent is pkg_add
• the Arch Build System (ABS) is designed to mimic some of the capabilities of FreeBSD’s ports system
• Both Ports and ABS consist of a number of directories named after various packages sorted into categories (ie ABS: extra/daemons/apache Ports: www/apache22). These directories do not contain the files or source code for firefox, but rather just a few script files that provide the infrastructure to allow you to build firefox.
• Both Ports and ABS automate the process of building software, including the following steps:
• Download source code from mirrors
• Checksum the file (for security and integrity)
• Extract the files
• Apply any required patches (FreeBSD changes the default paths for a lot of apps to follow the FreeBSD directory structure)
• Run the configure script (FreeBSD provides a text based menu for selecting options)
• Compile the application
• BSD ONLY: Install the application
• BSD ONLY: checksum all the files that were installed
• BSD ONLY: Uninstall the application (remove any unmodified files using checksums from earlier)
• Create a package that can be installed (with pacman or pkg_add respectively)
• ABS is only a build system used to build packages, that are then installed and managed by pacman
• Ports is integrated with pkg_add and the package registry, and allows you to install the build application without the additional step of building a package.
