I think the most effective way would be for u to start learning source code of apt,rpm,pacman to understand what they are doing and this is for what we are loving free and open source software then start implementing small basic things.
I have a very rough idea actually, I know that all the package managers keeps track of all the installed files and then removes it when user demands it apart from that I think the most difficult thing would be deps resolution to do so I might have to maybe implement recursion in c#.
I’ll cover item 1: start by writing a document, describing what you want to achieve: what do you mean by package, what do you mean by package manager, what features you want to have, what features you do not want to have, how you’re going to build and distribute the packages.
The reason why this is important is that a) this will be a useful reference for the implementation, b) you will learn a lot about the subject matter by trying to answer these questions, and c) you’ll learn to write such documents which is a very useful skill.
okay so here is my plan, I am going to just have a apt alternative written in c# which will only depends on CLR, ar, tar, and bash. I have made a Dockerfile which I can send to you if you want to see my progress. :)
I thought about it and I will create package manager which will be using .deb format since .deb format has a lot of documentation and it's relatively easier but as someone mentioned I might also try replacing slackware's package manager which will be much easier. so yeah I am not going to create another package format I will just use existing package format and I hope I will learn a lot about package management and c# :)
