Hi, I am the package maintainer for https://github.com/metis-os/hysp-pkgs (The default source that's shipped with hysp)

To address your concerns:

1. Hysp is completely agnostic: Does not depend on or care about what OS, Architecture & dependencies are installed. Just parses config.toml, based on that, installs what's defined & how is it defined.

2. No Toolchains or any other kinds of dependencies are required. Each & every single binary is statically compiled. This is the core at philosophy of Hysp. A single binary that runs anywhere. No dependencies whatsoever. This saves enormous space, storage & time.

3. Self-Hostable : As installing random binaries from random sources is not advisable due to security concerns, the pkg-source can be self-hosted by anyone and hysp can be configured to use that instead of the default source.
