Paldo packages are also very close to upstream packages. We only use Paldo-specific patches where really necessary. We do not even use separate -dev packages, which makes it very convenient for developers.

Software packages are provided in four different repositories, intuitively (and familiarly) labelled Stable, Testing, Unstable and Experimental. Reading through the project's website I got the impression Paldo's developers are trying to make a distro which has similar characteristics to Debian, but with fewer architectures and an attempt to offer just one application per task. The website continues to focus on packages, giving them their own special area where a user can search for software by name and, if the package is available, learn all sorts of information. Data provided includes a package's dependencies, what packages in turn depend on it, the current version, and other interesting tid-bits. All of this software, we're told, is handled by Paldo's package management system, called Upkg, which we'll talk about later.
