xbps - xtraeme's build package system.
xbps - xtraeme's binary package ystem.
It is a simple build package system that installs packages inside of
a chroot in a destination directory. Once the package has been installed
into this directory, you can make it appear/unappear at the master directory
at any time. It's in spirit the same than GNU stow, but the files are just
copied (there are no soft/hard links).
xbps is a new binary package system, taken ideas from other free available
implementations, such as dpkg/apt, RPM, pacman and others. Metadata handling
as package databases are handled by proplib. Multiple compression formats
are supported in binary packages thanks to libarchive.

make it work on any other random OS. I've been a NetBSD developer for some
years and I do not want to come back... also the experience has helped to
me to start xbps and not to use pkgsrc, which is very portable but also
not so fast.
