MKPM – GNU Make Package Manager
by f18m·Jul 28, 2026·1 point·1 comment
AI Analysis
●●●BangerWizardryNiche Gem
Pure GNU Make package manager pulling artifacts from OCI registries via ORAS.
Strengths
- •Implemented almost entirely in pure GNU Make with minimal shell bootstrap.
- •Leverages existing OCI registries like GHCR as generic artifact stores.
- •Supports semantic versioning and local workspace resolution out of the box.
Weaknesses
- •Niche audience since most teams have already migrated to CMake or Bazel.
- •Requires GNU Make 4.3+, limiting adoption on older enterprise Linux systems.
