Alpacka

Rust-powered Neovim package manager

Features

  • Blazingly fast Installs. Uses libgit2 directly rather than the git CLI.
  • Runs in parallel. Uses rayon to run installs in parallel.
  • Lockfile interface. "packages.json" contain all packages to be installed, with frontends being able to generate them. (No frontends yet)
  • Cache old versions of lockfiles into a file. This allows for fast rollbacks, as we just look at the previous lockfile's output.
  • Extremely fast rollbacks. Usually < 1 second as no resolvers are run.
  • CLI to install and inspect packages.

TODO

  • Local packages
  • Frontends (Neovim frontend, CLI frontend, etc)
  • Patches
  • Uninstalling packages (Currently they are just deleted from the lockfile, but not from the filesystem)
  • Luarocks support
  • Lazy loading though Neovim frontend
  • Installing/managing neovim versions through the CLI frontend
  • Updating packages through the CLI frontend, incrementing the generation in the lockfile and installing e.g new commit of a branch
  • Conventional commits; Detect breaking changes in installed packages and warn the user.
  • Nvim pack spec support
