could definitely move https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza here. i suspect it'll remain a moving target for some time.

Does feel more like this kind of thing. I suggested mash before but I think mash is: novel scripts on top of stuff in pkgx.

I think my criteria for what goes in pkgx is moving towards:

• provides a CLI tool that is the documented way to engage with it (thus llama.cpp was not suitable until recently)
  • or is a versioned library
• versioned

I will be pruning mash and pkgx at some point to avoid the duplication.

[jhheider]

this is the way. llama.cpp has insanely frequent builds more suitable to pkgo, and agpt.co moved to a "platform" form some time ago that resisted traditional packaging.

(and llama.cpp confuses our versioning logic, since it hits our carve-out for calver in a weird way.)

[mxcl]

vim also has insanely frequent version bumps, but I don't see us removing that from pkgx.

[jhheider]

i can dream, can't i?

I do wonder what the vim project exactly expects packagers and users to do.

I do wonder what the vim project exactly expects packagers and users to do.

we're straying off topic, but it looks like debian does the normal debian thing:

• freeze stable (9.0.1378, 3/4/23)
• update unstable sometimes (9.1.0967, 12/27/24, packaged 1/10)

current is 9.1.1074, so even sid is 107 patches behind. 9.0 went to patch 2190, so bookworm is 1886 patches behind.
