pakka
A cross platform meta package manager with auto snapshotting file system based transactions
Overview
The goal of this project is to improve the package manager user experience, and introduce a new type of audience to using package managers.
We are building a layer of abstraction above the system package manager, and making it such that you only need to learn a single package manager to use them all, although with a reduced feature set where applicable, such as with nix.
This project is especially targeted towards those who are stuck on a windows based fleet, but need a streamlined package manager with streamlined critical cve update notifications for installed software with opt out invasive notifications that force the end user to update.
