THEPKG

simple patchable package manager powered by tar

Example usage:

$ cd ./package-making/package-hello-world
$ ./package-hello-wold.sh
$ thepkg add hello-world < ./hello-wold.tar
 -> Extracting the pkg 'hello-world'...
created directory: '/var/db/thepkg/hello-world'
bin/hello-wold
$ hello-world
Hello, World!
$ thepkg del hello-world
 -> Removing the pkg 'hello-world'...
removed 'bin/hello-wold'
removed '/var/db/thepkg/hello-world/manifest'
removed '/var/db/thepkg/hello-world/version'
rmdir: removing directory, '/var/db/thepkg/hello-world'
