- Less than 1000 lines of POSIX `sh` (excluding blank lines and comments).
|
|
- Highly portable (will run in any POSIX compliant environment).
|
|
- Runtime dependency detection.
|
|
- Incremental package installation.
|
|
- Fast dependency solver.
|
|
- File conflict detection.
|
|
- Package alternatives system.
|
|
- 3-way handshake for /etc/ configuration files.
|
|
- Binary stripping.
|
|
- `shellcheck` compliant.

|
|
