The PacK Head package manager.

Status

This is currently a Proof Of Concept. The goal is to demonstrate the viability of a self-hosting distribution built with a package manager written in Lua.

Bootstraping Pickle Linux

You will need basic build tooling, Lua, LuaFileSystem, Lullaby, Squashfs-tools and QEMU.

# Build the core packages
lua bootstrap_neld.lua

# Go inside the `neld` folder
cd neld
# Build the ramdisk
./build_ramdisk.sh
# Build the disk
sudo ./build_disk.sh

# Run the result in a VM
sudo ./run.sh

To login, type root and press Enter.

Then, you can repeat the steps if you want to build it again inside itself.
