Project Steps Implemented & Ongoing
Research & Ideation
The name and visual identity for a linux distribution independent package manager were carefully thought out.
Design
The colors and logo were implemented with a clean and technical look. More visual elements will be made once the software is finished.
Software Development
The package manager itself is still being developed in private but will be available on GitHub once finished.
System Operations
The packages will be built on GitHub Actions and defined by YAML files and BASH scripts.
Visual Identity Design
The logo was designed with a custom typeface maximizing, a geometric circular look and using the golden ratio wherever possible.
Software Development - Ongoing
Searching a Linux package manager I did not find one that matched my expectations, so I thought of making my own. This package manager will also be the new basis for qycli.
The plan is to use GitHub Actions to download a minimal base of builder apps (that I am working on now, on the basis of Linux from Scratch) and build packages that then get uploaded to their respective repos. When installing apps they get downloaded from the GitHub Release.
Some concepts of GoboLinux (unmaintained) will be used, like the custom folder structure also being the package database, which is just an elegant way of doing it in my opinion.
In the coming months the GitHub organization unypkg will be used to implement the package manager and host the code openly.
