Package Forge

About

PkgForge provides portable packages and static binaries for Linux, along with Soar, a fast package manager written in Rust.

Packages live in soarpkgs, where each one is a declarative TOML file pinning an upstream release by URL and hash. Nothing in that tree executes, so a package is verified against something a reviewer approved rather than something a build produced.

Quick start

# Install Soar
curl -fsSL "https://soar.qaidvoid.dev/install.sh" | sh

# Install a package
soar install ripgrep
