agno package manager

agnopm, or agno is a Unix-like-POSIX-compatible-OS agnostic, dumb package manager. Which is one way to say it'll work on all POSIX-compatible platforms.

But it is "dumb", by which is meant that it will overwrite files if two packages have the same files. It won't do any kinda of smart checking like most others do. It is your sole responsibility to not overwrite files.

This is by no means meant to replace your OS's built-in package manager. This is meant as a simple alternative to manually downloading software, running make and then make install with whatever your OS's particular setup is.

With agnopm you don't need root access, as stuff is compiled and installed inside your home dir. So if you're in a setup where root access is not something you have, you'll like this package manager. :)

agno vs. agnopm

I realise it may be prone to confusion if I use both agnopm and agno throughout the source code, documentation and stuff. To make it clear:

• agno - the package management utils (agnomk etc.)
• agnopm - the name of the package manager and the project

Installation

To start using agnopm you just need to do a couple of things:

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone https://github.com/agnopm/agno
$ cd agno
$ sh bootstrap.sh

This will install agno, make all the necessary dirs and download the already made ports so that you don't have to write them all (hopefully). The bootstrap will additionally make a symlink of all the agno commands into the /usr/bin dir.

Using agno's /usr directory

Add $HOME/agno/usr/bin to your PATH variable.

Use man -m $HOME/agno/usr/man/ when you want to use man pages, setup an alias if you like.

Usage

You should look at each individual command to understand it, though eventually I'll probably make manpages and a real guide. Sorry for the inconvenience. orz
