Details

This internal function maps package managers to platform identifiers understood by the pak package's system requirements feature. It uses the following mappings:

  • apt → ubuntu (or debian if specified)

  • yum → centos (or fedora, redhat, rockylinux if specified)

  • zypper → opensuse (or sle if specified)

  • apk → ubuntu (Alpine not directly supported)

  • pacman → ubuntu (Arch not directly supported)

If the OS is explicitly provided and supported by pak, that platform is used directly.
