Introducing pkgx - a blazingly fast, standalone, cross‐platform binary that runs anything, anywhere. What’s better than a package manager? No package manager!
Don’t know what to think. I’ve been using Tea for months with about 8 packages installed. Today I decided to update Tea itself (via update menu option within the GUI) and bam…the app disappeared from my apps folder with no trace of what happened. Now I see Tea has been replaced with pkgx (on Product Hunt and Github, not my computer), however some type of warning or info would have been helpful.
This rebrand was handled absolutely horribly. Breaking every installation of tea for a rebrand pretty much makes this project persona non-grata in anyone's playbook. If there was communication, it was ridiculously brief. The decision to break EVERY INSTALLED tea installation just to rebrand pretty much makes it obvious there's no interest in stability. Why would I possibly adopt pkgx after this? I'll just adopt NIX, which I was avoiding.
