# nfpm > NFPM is not FPM. WIP: simple deb/rpm packager written in Go ### Goals - be simple to use - provide packaging for the most common linux packaging systems - be distributed as a single binary - reproducible results - depend on the fewer external things as possible - generate packages from yaml files (and/or json/toml?) - be possible to be used as a lib for other go projects (namely goreleaser itself) ### Status - deb packaging is working but some features might be missing - rpm packaging is working but some features might be missing - we need a suite of acceptance tests to make sure everything works
