I’ve had major Nissan Altima effect with this lately. A few weeks ago I set out to make a simple C and C++ package manager that just ignores dependency hell in favor of you explicitly specifying packages. And no binaries, just build from source and use Git as a backend for managing what source maps to what builds.

Plus Lua for package recipes. It’s going really well!

Isn't that basically manual dependency hell?
