With BuildWorld() we get more results back (now we return the whole model, including the false assertions). Besides, now solving with BuildWorld() detects an invalid case: when we supply a provided, the definitionDB shouldn't explictly supply also the package that has to be provided. This would cause to 'shadow' packages between repositories. The test was invalid before, and shouldn't have contained A1. Moved the test to Pending to inspect it further in subsequent dev iterations
luet - Container-based Package manager
Luet is a multi-platform Package Manager based off from containers - it uses Docker (and others) to build packages. It has zero dependencies and it is well suitable for "from scratch" environments. It can also version entire rootfs and enables delivery of OTA-alike updates, making it a perfect fit for the Edge computing era and IoT embedded devices.
It offers a simple specfile format in YAML notation to define both packages and rootfs. As it is based on containers, it can be also used to build stages for Linux From Scratch installations and it can build and track updates for those systems.
It is written entirely in Golang and where used as package manager, it can run in from scratch environment, with zero dependencies.
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 ( 0 dep installer !), statically built
- You can install it aside also with your current distro package manager, and start building and distributing your packages
- Support for packages as "layers"
- It uses SAT solving techniques to solve the deptree ( Inspired by OPIUM )
- Support for collections and templated package definitions
- Can be extended with Plugins and Extensions
- Can build packages in Kubernetes (experimental)
Install
To install luet, you can grab a release on the Release page or to install it in your system:
$ curl https://get.mocaccino.org/luet/get_luet_root.sh | sudo sh
$ luet search ...
$ luet install ..
$ luet --help
Build from source
$ git clone https://github.com/mudler/luet.git
$ cd luet
$ make build
Documentation
Documentation is available, or
run luet --help, any subcommand is documented as well, try e.g.: luet build --help.
Dependency solving
Luet uses SAT and Reinforcement learning engine for dependency solving. It encodes the package requirements into a SAT problem, using gophersat to solve the dependency tree and give a concrete model as result.
SAT encoding
Each package and its constraints are encoded and built around OPIUM. Additionally, Luet treats also selectors seamlessly while building the model, adding ALO ( At least one ) and AMO ( At most one ) rules to guarantee coherence within the installed system.
Reinforcement learning
Luet also implements a small and portable qlearning agent that will try to solve conflict on your behalf when they arises while trying to validate your queries against the system model.
To leverage it, simply pass --solver-type qlearning to the subcommands that supports it ( you can check out by invoking --help ).
