I started XPT because I wanted a package manager that was simple enough to understand completely. Most package managers are bloated and hard to read. xpt is ~2000 lines of C
What it does:
- SQLite-backed package database
- Dependency resolution with repo sync
- ebt: POSIX shell toolkit for building packages
It's functional but not yet polished or production-ready. Known issues are listed on the README in the repository.
I'm looking for feedback from people enthusiastic about minimalist tools.
