slabpkg

SecureLang™ Application Binary Package Manager

Features

• Builds/installs/removes software packages
• Keeps a simple database of installed packages/files
• Compresses/decompresses individual files
• Uses custom formats (no zip/tar)
• Built-in integrity checking
• Very simple & portable codebase, plain C

Limitations

• Doesn't handle advanced features or system integration yet, only "lowest common denominator" feature set
• No timestamps, minimal handling of permissions
• Not OS-aware, doesn't check system compatibility or have a way of organising packages for different targets yet
• Early version, so small changes to the format are to be expected

TODO

• versioning & dependencies
• OS integration
• useful/demo packages
