i've always been in awe of people who do this; it goes well beyond linux from scratch and they'll never get rewarded for doing it... it's purely a labor of love.
- this made my day; thank you! speaking for myself, it certainly is something I quite enjoy :D
  
  HEAVY emphasis on the words "labor of love" ... should be getting paid for this and i know for a fact that people who do this professionally make around $200k a year for doing it becuase i worked with them for up until a couple weeks ago at old-silicon.
From a quick glance, this is pacman with a yaml file instead of a shell script and PKGINFO (the latter was introduced for the same reason you're doing it your way in the first place). The carcinization of package managers
