Introducing Upmf

Hi!

I would like to introduce a project I've been working on recently and which makes use of GUILE.

The project is a source based package manager and is written mostly in Scheme. It features the standard paxkage manager facilities, installing, removing and searching for packages. Upmf also makes use of GNU Stow for the final installation (though not yet integrated).

The package format is a Scheme associatio list where one can also specify patches and dependencies. Dependency checking is only very rudimentary implemented right now.

As for the extendability: Since Upmf is mostly written in Scheme, it is possible to customize it in various ways.  In the easiest way one just customizes a few default values. The mediocre way is to work in your own "installation mode" (for example a mode for Cmake) or even replace the default procedure which gets executed.

I hope I could wake a few interested:

Best regards,

Are you aware of GNU Guix <http://gnu.org/s/guix> and GNU SourceInstall
<http://gnu.org/s/sourceinstall/>?

How would you position Upmf compared to those?

Perhaps we should join efforts.
