Luet is a Package Manager based off from containers - it uses Docker (and other tech) to sandbox your builds and generate packages from them. It has no dependencies and it is well suitable for "from scratch" environments.

## In a glance

- Luet can reuse Gentoo's portage tree hierarchy, and it is heavily inspired from it.
- It builds, installs, uninstalls and perform upgrades on machines
- Installer doesn't depend on anything
- Support for packages as "layers"
- It uses SAT solving techniques to solve the deptree ( Inspired by [OPIUM](https://ranjitjhala.github.io/static/opium.pdf) )

## Status

Luet is not feature-complete yet, it can build, install/uninstall/upgrade packages - but it doesn't support yet all the features you would normally expect from a Package Manager nowadays.
