sol

----

Replacement for `eopkg`, the Solus package manager (a fork of eopkg).

This is not an effort to create "yet another package manager", it is instead

a current research effort for the successor to `eopkg`, to create a modern

package manager to deal with the needs of today, and of Solus itself.

 - Spend less time downloading

 - Spend less time applying updates

 - Don't ever break. (ABI, layout, config, etc.)

The Solus mantra is "Install today, update forever". We need a modern software

and update management system to handle this in the most efficient manner for

the user, to truly handle the needs of a modern rolling release designed for

the ordinary user.

More details will be fleshed out as and when we've settled on them. In the

mean time, don't panic. :]

`sol` is a [Solus project](https://solus-project.com/)
