corepkg - a new core package and updates manager
martin:
Well, it has been made explicitly clear to me that TinyCore Linux will not be using nor directly providing the corepkg software for extended package management and updates, so I will be making a remaster instead which will use it for anyone who wants it.
bmarkus:
It is not universal but a dedicated TC tool. Why don't you provide .tcz at SourceForge?
paxrex33:
That would be the best bmarkus.
Then every user would have the choise...

Because users would still need the package database to be available on the repository for it to work properly and I received a message from roberts that they are not willing to do that.

That was what I put forth to the admins here but they didn't go for it.
So in order for users to now take advantage of it, I need to create a re-master that is based on it. Which means creating a TinyCore derivative basically, which is 99% TC and uses corepkg and coresome instead of tce-update and appsaudit.

Do not understand. You are promoting a program without making it available in a usable format (aka .tcz) and forcing a user to compile it. Instead of doing a proper job yourself pushing others. Nice approach. I wanted to try it but can't spend time for compilation.
So interest is gone.
