Toaster (software)

This term does not appear to be in use at all outside of a few joke names based on the Amiga Video Toaster and seems to have been made up to promote the questionably notable freedom toaster linked. WP:DICTDEF with no hope for expansion.

The term toaster refers to a self-contained software package (or "appliance") that is easily distributable by electronic means, such as the Freedom Toaster project, ^[1] This use generally connotes free software and is a term occasionally used in the open source software community."^[2]^[3]

A toaster appliance is often made up of software components that were not originally packaged together. The new toaster package provides a co-ordinated packaging framework in which all the components can function together as a self-contained unit.
