pkgman A fresh approach to package installation
summary
Package manager PKG focuses on fast, reliable installs by performing concurrent downloads and builds, caching metadata and package files in a local cache, and being lazy about updates. It runs a dependency solver up front and reports conflicts before changing a library, isolates its own deps in a private library and runs installs in a subprocess to avoid overwriting loaded packages. Demo shows 18 CRAN packages installed, then reused instantly from cache; GitHub/Bioconductor sizes sometimes appear as unknown.
