The universal package manager

fetch

fetch is the soon-to-be new universal package manager. This is intended to be a learner's package manager to introduce me to many new concepts:

• DAG's and the handling of dependencies
• deterministic builds, etc.

I will be using the following as inspiration:

• Homebrew's brew structure
• Debian's dpkg/apt
• Alpine's apk
• Python's pip
• Arch's pacman

as inspiration.

Planned features

• Written in golang
• Package target/repo as a online git repository
• Packages as folders in that repository with manifest, checksum, and code
• install commands per platform

The code aims to be:

• complex but not complicated
• comprehensively tested and documented
• to golang best practices
• not one person's project, once I get this going
