Add / Remove Software (pi-packages): Only Native Packages

Dec 21, 2015 1 Replies

In Add / Remove Software (pi-packages), what does "Only Native Packages" under Options-menu mean?


As I understand it, a native package is one that is produced for Debian and its offshoots (e.g. Raspbian). A non-native package is one which a user compiles from source.

That is, a native packet is one found in repositories.

I could well be wrong.
