Clear Linux OS automates the creation of RPM packaging

Designed by Intel and open source contributors, the Clear Linux OS delivers a secure, hardware optimized OS. Its updates ensure that software dependencies remain mutually compatible. 

The autospec tool is used to assist with the automated creation and maintenance of RPM packaging in Clear Linux OS. Where a standard RPM build process using rpmbuild requires a tarball and .spec file to start, autospec requires only a tarball and package name to start.

Recent reviews confirm the performance an stability improvements of Clear Linux OS. However, software that are packaged in other formats for other Linux distributions are not guaranteed to work on Clear Linux OS and may be impacted by Clear Linux OS updates.
