About the project

Age is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Where the project comes from

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

Check compatibility first

It is worth checking which platforms the current release targets. Support windows differ, and the newest version is not always the one that fits an older machine.

Once it is in place

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
