YNS Package Manager

Simple package manager for Linux. Uses JSON for package definitions.

Build

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libssl-dev zlib1g-dev nlohmann-json3-dev

We build our own curl because the system's libcurl is usually only available as a dynamic library. Building our own lets us:

• Create a static binary that works everywhere
• Include only the features we need (HTTP support)
• Avoid dependency problems during static linking

Build steps:

# Get the code
git clone https://github.com/spitkov/ynspkg.git
cd ynspkg

# Build static curl
chmod +x build_curl.sh
./build_curl.sh

# Build yns
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Usage

yns update              # Update package cache
yns install <package>   # Install package
yns remove <package>    # Remove package
yns upgrade <package>   # Upgrade package
yns list               # List packages
yns debug              # Show debug info
yns interactive        # Interactive mode
