Kali Linux Team has Renamed their Meta-packages to More Meaningful
Kali Linux team has renamed their meta-packages to more meaningful to understand it in a better way.
This implementation will optimize Kali, reduce ISO size, and organize meta-packages in a better way.
Some of you may already know about it, however, i will give you an overview about meta-package before discuss further on this topic.
What’s Meta-package?
Meta-packages are specialized packages, they do not contain any files usually found in packages.
Meta-package is a way to collect and group related software packages, they simply depend on other packages to be installed.
It allows entire sets of software to be installed by selecting only the appropriate meta-package.
Say for example, Each Linux desktop environments comes with a wide range of applications, it can be installed by running a single command because they were already grouped together.
This will reduce download requirements, i mean to say, this will obtain all the Gnome packages in one download.
