The Motoko Package Manager

Motoko is a set of traditionalist SVR4-compatible package managenment tools, but made in a modernist and cleaner way.
I'm making this in order to learn Go and some data structure concepts.

Everything here is a big "TO DO", since I'm still learning the basic concepts of Go itself and the SVR4 package manager specification.

You can read more about it in READMEs below:

• 🇧🇷 README.pt.markdown (original);
• 🇺🇸 README.en.markdown;
• 🇯🇵 README.jp.markdown (TO DO);
• 🇹🇼 README.zh_TW.markdown (TO DO).

There is also the official documentation, which is served at https://silicon.pindorama.dob.jp/motoko and has its source at the Silicon Tabula repository.

Quick information: file formats

• .e: 0 bytes file that means literally "exists", add it to a empty directory that need in some way to appear in git's source tree;
• .markdown: Markdown files;
• .go: Source code for programs written in the Go programming language;
• .ksh: ksh file script;
• .pdf: PDF document (please, use DjVu);
• .djvu: DjVu document.

Implementation status

This project currently implements the following tools:

Command	Description	Status
pkgproto(1)	Generate a prototype(4) file for input to the pkgmk(1) command.	W.I.P.; Almost finished

The following tools shall be implemented in coming days, weeks, months or, in the worst case scenario, years.

Command	Description	Status
pkgmk(1)	Create an software package.	Planning
pkgadd(8)	Install a software package.	Planning
pkgrm(8)	Remove a software package.	Planning
pkgask(8)	Store answers to a request script.	Planning
pkgtrans(1)	"Translate" packages between datastream formats. According to the specification, it is used for copying packages into a distribution medium.	Planning
pkgchk(8)	Check if a package is impartial.	Planning
pkginfo(1)	Displays information about a software package. This shall be simple, since it is only based on parsing the pkginfo(5) file from a package.	Planning
pkgparam(1)	Displays package parameters, declared at pkginfo(5). In fact, it's basically like pkginfo(1), but it displays the file instead of parsing it for displaying separate values. This shall also be simple.	Planning
installf(8)	Installs files into an already installed software package. In theory, this basically just edits the database and copies the file to the file system.	Planning
removef(8)	Removes files from an already installed software package. In theory, this also just edits the database and deletes the file in the file system.	Planning
