just unpacks a tarball and installs its contents. you can check a manifest, uninstall, and upgrade/reinstall in place, and that's it
<midfavila>
its like a few hundred lines of C

goal for today is getting wiringpi or equivalent up on the uconsole and testing tinymbim
<sadplan>

midfavila: ermm

I mean if anything it'd just a tarball manager
<sewn>
where do the tarballs come from
<sewn>
how do you build
<midfavila>
doesn't matter to pm. i'll probably end up doing something similar to what slackware does with slackbuilds
<midfavila>
ive always liked how slackbuilds work
<sadplan>
sewn: youd have to write a script for that stuff manually. which is kinda why I dont like pm. although it might make it more versatile, as users are more free to conjure up w/e solution they like themselfes
<sewn>
that doesn't answer my questionss
<sewn>
if your ystm is managed by pm
<sewn>
where do you get your 'packs' from
<sadplan>
youd have to create them yourself
sadplan
changed nick to sad_plan
<sad_plan>
build package -> create tarball -> use pm to install

<midfavila>
or get them from wherever assuming someone else made one
<midfavila>
you could build by hand or using a script or w/e
<sad_plan>
correct. kiss-bin could be an alternative, but I suppose every other binary distro would work technically
<midfavila>
yeah but pm is in c and even smol-er
<midfavila>
:3c
<sad_plan>
so ironically, you could create your own ubuntu fork, but without apt
<sad_plan>
kiss-bin isnt a command, but a repo. but its dead in the water afaik :p
