Super Simple Package Manager

The World’s Most Simple Package Manager

Download Instructions:

• git clone https://github.com/SuperSimplePackageManager/SSPM
• cd SSPM
• sudo cp ./sspm /usr/bin/sspm

Bam you have SSPM.

How simple is SSPM?

SSPM is arguably too simple, and that’s the point. It’s more esoteric than functional, as the goal is not to make a package manager but rather to make a super simple package manager.

Why no options?

Options add clutter. All you do is add what packages you want to install, and they can be installed.

Installing a package: sudo sspm install <package> Removing a package: sudo sspm remove <package>

Why does SSPM just auto install the package?

Because it adds an extra step, which isn’t super simple.

Why no dependency checking?

Actually, this one is a personal pet peeve. WHO THE HELL DECIDED THAT DEPENDENCIES ARE COMPILED SEPERATELY FROM THE PROGRAM!? If your program needs C libraries, well then tough shit. Should have your make file deal with it, or make a makefile that uses SSPM to download dependencies. I am not cluttering my package manager with a billion libraries.

Why no md5 checking?

Who needs checksums? Everything is super reliable! (That was sarcasm, truth is I didn’t feel like it).

Is this really the most simple?

Probably, idk
