Upstream description

This description is kept separate from distribution package descriptions.

This simple locking scheme is not based on any file locking system calls such as 'flock()' or 'lockf()' but rather relies on basic file system primitives and properties, such as the atomicity of the 'write()' system call. It is not meant to be exempt from all race conditions, especially over NFS. The algorithm used is described below in the *ALGORITHM* section. It is possible to customize the locking operations to attempt locking once every 5 seconds for 30 times, or delete stale locks (files that are deemed too ancient) before attempting the locking.

Packages by operating system

Every link opens the native package record, where versions, dependencies, files, checksums, repositories, and maintainers remain distribution-specific.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
