I’ve updated my zp (a source-based package manager)

A few weeks ago, I posted about my Zig project, zp (on reddit), and received an honest (and harsh) critique. Because of that, I spent some time improving it (and my friend also joined the development) to make it truly solid.

What has changed:

  • Implemented a modular structure: now each command resides in its own separate file.
  • Made commands readable: zp add, zp remove, zp sync, zp update, zp list, etc., instead of -i, -r, -u, -U, -l.
  • The remove command is now written in pure Zig. No more rm -rf and unsafe deletions.
  • Added proper autotools support.
  • Largely eliminated the numerous bash scripts from the codebase, though some remain in init.zig (we plan to implement our own parser for this soon).

Thank you to everyone who provided genuine, constructive feedback last time. It truly made the project better.
