Mastering Linux Packaging: Native Tools vs. Modern Abstractions - March 30, 2026

Speakers:  Evgeniy Patlan

Building and distributing software for diverse Linux environments, like database servers and distributed systems, presents unique challenges in dependency management and lifecycle orchestration. In this session, Evgeniy Patlan will perform a deep dive into the packaging landscape, comparing the “gold standard” of native RPM and DEB tools against modern abstractions like CPack and nFPM.

Attendees will learn how to handle complex requirements such as idempotent lifecycle scripts, systemd integration via macros, and protecting user modifications with specialized configuration file handling. Evgeniy will break down the decision framework for choosing the right tool based on project complexity, from simple Go/Rust static binaries to enterprise-grade software requiring sophisticated sub-package ecosystems.

Finally, discover how to implement a hybrid CI/CD workflow that combines development-time speed with production-grade rigor.
