Gimme

Simple source-based package manager in python

Info

You probably don't want to use this just yet. It's still in very early development. It can fuck up your system, so don't run this unless you know what you're doing.

The idea behind Gimme was to write a source-based package manager that doesn't abstract away the configure options. With Gimme, you edit yaml files which contain basic build instructions in the meta folder. You then point main.py at one of those yamls files to get or remove a package.

To create new yaml files, just copy template.yaml to .yaml and customize it. You can then point main.py at that yaml.

I've created a wrapper (the executable gimme) to source some environment variables and run main.py.

Installation

This should be all it takes. (Not tested yet.)

git clone https://github.com/Toxikuu/gimme/ && cd gimme
