Character collations - the rules for comparing and sorting character strings - are not universal, even languages which use the same characters may sort them differently. These rules may also not be stable, and the libraries implementing them may have errors, requiring fixes and updates. When character string data is indexed or partitioned under one set of rules, then queried under another, it may create some problems.

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.
