arch-pkg-text
Pure Rust library to parse Arch Linux packages' structured text formats. "Pure Rust" means not needing libalpm.
Why?
Relying on libalpm has 2 limitations:
- The program would only work on Arch Linux.
- Every time
libalpmupdates, the program would need to be recompiled. And since Arch Linux is rolling release,libalpmwould update frequently, forcing the program to recompile frequently.
This library aims to provide parsers for packaging related structured text formats without the above limitations.
