FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) distributions use dependencies and package managers to maintain huge collections of packages and their installations; recent research have led to efficient and complete configuration tools and techniques, based on state of the art solvers, that are being adopted in industry. We show how to encode a significant subset of Free Feature Diagrams as interdependent packages, enabling to reuse package tools and research results into software product lines.
