Bubble Package Manager (BPM)

A simple package manager

BPM is a simple package manager for Linux systems

Features

• Simple to use subcommands
• Can install binary and source packages
• Can be easily installed on practically any system
• No bloat

Information

BPM is still in very early development. It should not be installed on any system you use seriously. I recommend trying this out in a VM or container. In addition to this, this is one of the first projects I have made using the go programming language so code quality may not be the best. This project was made to help me learn go and how linux systems work better. It is not meant to replace the big package managers in any way

Build from source

• Download go from your package manager or from the go website
• Download make from your package manager
• Run the following command to compile the project

make

• Run the following command to install stormfetch into your system. You may also append a DESTDIR variable at the end of this line if you wish to install in a different location

make install PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc

How to use

You are able to install bpm packages by typing the following:

bpm install /path/to/package.bpm

You may also use the -y flag as shown below to bypass the installation confirmation prompt

bpm install -y /path/to/package.bpm

Flags must strictly be typed before the first package path otherwise they'll be read as package locations themselves

You can remove an installed package by typing the following

bpm remove package_name

The -y flag applies here as well if you wish to skip the removal confirmation prompt

For information on the rest of the commands simply use the help command or pass in no arguments at all

bpm help

Package Creation

Package creation is simplified using the bpm-utils package which contains helper scripts for creating and archiving packages.
