Package managers over IPFS

JGAntunes opened this issue · comments

What would be the main benefits of having package managers over IPFS? A truly distributed package manager, no need for complex infrastructures to deal with a centralized source which can easily become a bottleneck. There are already some implementations like gx which might be a good starting point to look at but probably lacks in terms of having a well defined and established package manager to compare it to (unlike Node and NPM for example, or dpkg and debian). By the end, one of the main goals here would be to compare any possible implementation(s) over IPFS with a real live one in terms of resilience, performance, correctness, etc.
