Been a while since I've blogged here.
So what have I been up to lately? To be honest, not much.
The only really interesting thing I've done lately is porting pacman to other OS's.
Me and deltalima ported it OS X and OpenBSD.
Now the "why" part.
Proof-of-concept, disliking of native package management tools on OpenBSD, disliking of the alternative package managers for OS X (Fink, Portage, DarwinPorts), love for pacman, etc.
And surprisingly enough, I've already met some OS X and *BSD users who seem really interested in the idea of running pacman on it.
I don't have any big plans, it just started as a small project to have an alternative package manager on my server instead of the (IMO) primitive pkg_add.
So are there any advantages for Frugalware?
I don't know, maybe, maybe not. At least I got to know the pacman code and might start hacking on it more. But at least I got a cool package manager now on the other OS's that I use.
