  Package managers are a very important part of Linux distributions but we have
noticed two weaknesses in them: They use pre-built packages that are not
optimised for specific hardware and often they are too heavy for a specific
need, or packagesmay require plenty of time and resources to be compiled. In
this paper, we present a novel Linux package manager which uses cloud computing
features to compile and distribute Linux packages without impacting the end
user's performance. We also show how Portage, Gentoo's package manager can be
optimised for customisation and performance, along with the cloud computing
features to compile Linux packages more efficiently. All of this resulting in a
new cloud-based Linux package manager that is built for better computing
performance.
