Linuxbrew: The Homebrew package manager for Linux (linuxbrew.sh)
2 points by reimertz on March 12, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



I really love Homebrew and it's community and now when I try to sort out my dotfiles, I found this. As much as I would want to use this on Linux, I assume there won't be a cross-platform compatability for all the things I install.

Is there a well-known, well-maintained alternative that runs properly on Windows, *nix platforms that I can use today? I'd rather have a smaller subset of features vs. manually tweaking each platform.


I don't know about Windows, but for unices there's RPM and DPKG.


You asked¹ about knowing about RBLs the other day but I saw it too late to comment on it. I didn't have to know about it. By using sovereign you get a script² that checks RBLs daily for you.
