Ha. Package manager, I was thinking how we should have a single package manager that would just do it's think no matter the language, and you can just plug in new languages and it would know how to handle them (resolve dependecies etc).
I think it would be worthwhile project.

- amdelamar 8y agoIf its a cross-platform CLI it would be fantastic. Combine brew, chocolatey, yum, apt-get, snap, docker, git... you name it. Surely there is someone on this already?
- amdelamar 8y agoOnce saw someone build a CLI tool and distribute on npmjs. Their install went something like `npm install -g mycli`. So in a way, they already are cross-platform.
- desireco42 8y agoNope. But it is really low hanging fruit. I really would hate to learn another set of commands.
- mkobit 8y agoI think of this article (https://medium.com/@sdboyer/so-you-want-to-write-a-package-manager-4ae9c17d9527 https://medium.com/@sdboyer/so-you-want-to-write-a-package-m...) when it comes to package management.

- mihaifm 8y agoI would like to see a good open source package manager, built on the following principles: - every package is a source code archive signed by the developer - package manager takes care of compiling it for you - package manager does not allow build scripts to download extra code or libraries - dependencies are built from source by the manager, not downloaded as binaries - there is a rating system to allow packages with obfuscated code to be dismissed
