Problem: My path is a mess and I got annoyed with cargo / different toolchains etc. often being the wrong executables I also am building a package manager on the side so swapping between having it's bin directory and homebrew&#x27

I know nix, did use nix-darwin for a while and actually integrated my own scripts called from the flake into setting up my system xD

love uv <3 I will look into integrating that. Have not decided if and how to implement my own packaging / source build dsl though and will probably open a git poll for that the coming days

on github xD

Yeah, this would 100% be feasible. Great idea. It's during the week now so I don't have much time besides work. I'll probably open a Poll on git within the next couple days about what to do about a real from source packaging

I'll add manual override flags and also let users not only build from source from formulae but any dir on their machine they want, only makes sense

I know, probably will, also feel typing out sapphire for the command all the time is annoying + sapp would be weird. For me technical implementation comes first though. I'll do that when something comes to mind

Initial idea for this really came from my dayjob too, we have macs but no way to centrally manage them. The client / server part for the declarative system manager I want to build on top of this is quite far out yet though. At least se

Anyway, please do not expect progress to be too rapid. I have a full time job and do most work on this on weekends. I fully intend to make it a stable, "finished" (as much as this is possible in software) thing, it will take a whi

Some reason I just died laughing. Really struggled with all that stuff while building this, just seemed to make no sense in the beginning. Maybe I should do /opt/sapphire/cave, opt/sapphire/cove and opt/sapphir

Looked at that. I do not really think implementing something like artichoke or rutie would be a good idea. I do not want my project to become overly bloated and to achieve my real goal of a declarative system management thing I think sticki

I will probably change the terminology at some point for this. For initially building it it is way easier to keep them the same though as trying to understand brew itself (at least for me) isn't so straight forward. It's a massive

Building from source, obviously, will never be really that much more performant as it mainly relies on the underlying build systems and things like ninja, cmake, cargo etc. are usually optimized very very well. Thanks to rust just being (sl

Hey, so I built this thing, most of it at so far at least. And yeah, right now it isn't doing many things better than Homebrew. Setting of relative paths for bottle installs is still not perfect, well it works for every bottle I have t
