Could there ever be something like this but for cracked software ? Keeping cracked software up to date is tiresome and boring :(
I know Ketarin exists which can accomplish something similar, but with the way cracked software is usually distributed it could become pretty hard to configure. Source: over 1 year ago
Request: Package manager that pulls GitHub/GitLab releases
Ketarin can do this, or with a bit of work you could probably do this with git. Pull the initial repo into your location of choice, select the most recent tag with git tag and then git pull the result. Source: over 1 year ago

Using jlink to cross-compile minimal JREs
Sounds like https://0install.net which has been around for a while. Personally I prefer to avoid 'installing' anything: if something's written in Java, its launcher should reference some specific java binary; if something's written in Python, it should reference some specific python3 binary; etc. For example, my job is mostly writing Scala and building it with Maven; yet I have neither installed system-wide.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Go binding for upx utility
It seems more like a package manager. https://0install.net/. Source: over 1 year ago
Ubuntu's Snap performs application updates without user consent
The article mentions Snap, AppImage and FlatPak, but there is also a much older system called 0install (zero install) that was started in 2003 or so [1]. I wonder why that never took off.

Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
That's true, future app distributions should utilize web 3.0, e.g. decentralization. There is 0install ( https://0install.net/ ), for example, it is better. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
