@cm0002
step 1: ask yourself, why am i writing a package manager where there are like 56 other ones out there
step 2: ok but really, is that a good enough reason
step 3: really?
step 4: no, it's not, stop
step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol
But none for SQLite extensions, which is what the article is about.
A lot are in the arch repos, and the rest in the AUR ¯\(ツ)/¯
