Dbin is particularly well-suited for embedded systems, we support both amd64, aarch64 and riscv64. dbin can also work on systems other than Linux, but given that we don't have repositories offering binaries for other systems, we just don't release dbin for other systems. But, creating a repo and compiling dbin are trivial matters, feel free to start your own dbin repository :) Why? \"I tend to think the drawbacks of dynamic linking outweigh the advantages for many (most?) applications.\" – John Carmack. If you are looking for more in-depth arguments, see: dynlib - drewdevault.com, cat-v.ORG - Dynamic Linking I've seen lots of package manager projects without \"packages\". What is different about this one? There are currently binaries in our repos. They are all statically linked. Features Examples Features - Ability to install specific versions of binaries (by specifying the Snapshot you want to install of it) - Ability to use user-curated repositories, as the format for the repository indexes is quite simple Note that a repo index for dbin can be in either of these formats: -","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/xplshn","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/xplshn/dbin/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
