> Build from source formulae is still pretty f*ed + I do not know if it is really feasible given that the json API lacks information there and a full on Ruby -> Rust transpiler is way out of scope. Will probably settle for automatic build system detection based on archive structure there. + Maybe do my own version of the .rb scripts but in a more general machine readable format, not .rs lol Last I checked (which was about a year ago), Homebrew had ~7000 formulas (not including casks). I think it would be feasible to transcribe most of them to your format of choice with AI, run the build in a loop and ask the LLM to fix errors, and reserve manual intervention for the few cases that the LLM can't fix. |

I'll probably open a Poll on git within the next couple days about what to do about a real from source packaging system with it's own dsl, maybe just yaml/toml or something a bit more powerful like lua with mlua. No matter the choice of packaging apporach I would like to keep the generated packages "bottle compliant" -> at least with the json api spec, since this also installs from there.
There seems to be at least some in my project so even though I am very opinionated on a lot of things I don't think I should decide on that completely alone, especially given that this is the first time I play with packaging.
