One could move the "statically build packages, for darwin/linux, with clang" to the "About" section on GitHub.
There are a lot of different environments which a package manager could cover. This is the most important thing for me when learning about new tools: Does it apply to my use case?
- pshirshov 1y agoThis particular one is built around the ideas of bootstrap/reproducibility/hermetcity. If your usecases would benefit from these properties it might apply. In my opinion the docs need to be improved a lot.
- pabs3 1y agoYou may want to look at the Bootstrappable Builds project and StageX in order to reduce your binary seeds to almost nothing. https://bootstrappable.org/ https://bootstrappable.org/ https://lwn.net/Articles/983340/ https://lwn.net/Articles/983340/ https://stagex.tools/ https://stagex.tools/
- pg83 1y agoKnow about it. We have a slightly different model - we use the user's current trusted environment, for example, ubuntu, or fedora, for bootstrap.
- pabs3 1y agoNone of those environments should be considered trusted; they are not themselves bootstrapped solely from source, they all rely on long chains of their own binaries, and for some things those binaries have relied on external binaries.
