cheap shot lol
branc116··on I hate packaging my software for Linux
I think that you just need to provide .tar of your app. Everything else should be problem for people who handle packages of different distros. You don't wanna be involved in that part of distribution. If people want your app, someone will make a package. There are too many package manages for you to run and add your stuff to all of them. Just have .tar on static http server and that's it! Example: http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/gnu/gcc/
branc116··on Show HN: Overfitted a 900KB Transformer to Compress a 100MB CSV into 7MB
Compressor: Output an empty file.

Decompressor: Take any old algorithm for finding digets of pi, find first 100M of them, print them.

Compression ratio of 0! :0

Memory tracker to detect double free, and other common errors in C. Also for tracking all your allocation and stuff that yoir program does with memory.

Isn't nix just for nixos?

Hmmm... I'm not sure about that. How did you build it?

I should make a table with all other plotters and compare them. That would be cool.

Yup. But from my expirance cmake only becomes useful when you want to compile something on multiple os-es. I have not compiled brplot on windows or on mac. Makefile is written with linux as host os in mind.

It'd be cool to have cmake build option. So that you could create vs proj on windows, xcode proj on mac.

I don't know what to think about vcpkg.

Requirments are a pain. On different distributions they are located in different packages. I should install top 20 most used distributions and try to build on that distributin. That would be quite a fun process.

I didn't want to spam repo with too many imgs. But you are right It'd be cool to have then. But I should host those imgs somewhere else

I've been working on this for a while now. Showing it here to see what will happen.
