sol
Replacement for eopkg, the Solus package manager (a fork of eopkg).
This is not an effort to create "yet another package manager", it is instead
a current research effort for the successor to eopkg, to create a modern
package manager to deal with the needs of today, and of Solus itself.
- Spend less time downloading
- Spend less time applying updates
- Don't ever break. (ABI, layout, config, etc.)
The Solus mantra is "Install today, update forever". We need a modern software and update management system to handle this in the most efficient manner for the user, to truly handle the needs of a modern rolling release designed for the ordinary user.
More details will be fleshed out as and when we've settled on them. In the mean time, don't panic. :]
sol is a Solus project
