# PurePkg

Simple C package manager.

## Planned features

The package manager itself should be a simple bash script and it will use
a few dependencies like `jq` to make it easier to implement.

- fetching dependencies
- adding new dependencies
- removing dependencies
- updating dependencies = remove + add + fetch

The package manager will guarantee transaction nature of these operations.

### Files structure

The idea is for the package manager to use the following files:

- `purepkg-deps.json` -- user-defined dependencies, may be added by hand
  or by using ./purepkg.sh add command
- `purepkg-lock.json` -- stores information about installed packages,
  their versions, names, descriptions, licenses
- `purepkg-this.json` -- contains information about the current repository
  being a package. It defines name, description, license and a list of
  paths to files, which should be fetched by someone adding this as a
  dependency
- `.purepkg/` -- directory for storing intermediary results of operations,
  before everything succeeds no other file is touched by this manager
- `purepkgs/` -- directory where packages files are placed. Currently the
  idea is that the user will use them from this place to include or link
  -- which may involve creating symlinks to the files to place them in
  project-specific directories. It is some plan for future to add
  symlinks creation automatically, but this needs to be revised
