System package datasetedit

This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This is the package dataset of the system module.

It is implemented for Linux distributions using dpkg or rpm as their package manager, and for Homebrew on macOS (Darwin).

Example dashboardedit

The dataset comes with a sample dashboard:
