What it does
Rootless installer
norm will download, compile and install stuff into a directory in your home folder without requiring superuser access. After waiting a bit, you’ll get a fresh version of mc in your $PATH . Just type mc to start using it. norm places everything it builds into a subdirectory in your home folder. To prevent problems with NFS-shared homes, it puts system identification in the subdirectory’s name, for example on Linux with glibc version 2.19 and Haswell CPU, the name will be norm.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.2.19.haswell . norm downloads the source code and compiles almost all dependencies. This is to avoid problems when some application (for example aria2 ) detects that a system has an optional library…from hmage.github.io

The Missing Open Source Package Manager for Kubernetes Beyond Helm2024 · github.com · ▲20Hi, we are a small team from Vienna and today released our first version of a Package Manager similar to apt, Homebrew, or Chocolatey, but specifically tailored for Kubernetes environments and cloud-native software. Originally, we wanted to contribute to the Kubernetes ecosystem with a different idea; however, after talking to the community, we uncovered that package management is an even bigger problem at the moment. We are now looking for as much feedback as possible, so we would really appreciate it if you could check it out and let us know what you think! Thanks!
